Yogi in Indian means an ascetic. The country has lots of yogis as people back here, who think destiny guides our lives, have an weakness for them and keep flocking to them for worldly wisdom. As far as I am concerned, for wisdom I have never turned to an yogi but always relied on flying wisdom (I am not a pilot though) in day to day life. It has held me in good stead so far. I’m already 37. I believe ‘flying wisdom’ is the most distilled form of all the practical knowledge one can learn in life to avoid danger. But here’s an yogi, Yogi Berra, who one can actually turn to for tips. Thanks.

A great saying that also applies is ” No one is ever completely worthless – they can always serve as a bad example.” That really applies to flying as we seek to teach why doing things in a certain way yields good results and being “creative” is often not such a good idea.

What they see might come in handy for some future landings of their own.
