You have the licence but I had to close my eyes and hope for the best. I wish we had a digital cameras in those days.

I left that for my passengers to do. (We had to divide our duties somehow.)

However, I recall flying over Chappaquiddick on Martha's Vineyard when my friend's wife, sitting in the back, yelled "smoke." I cut the throttle and immediately glided for a grassy strip only to find out--upon landing--that she had not put out her cigarette completely. Woe is me. (Generally, I don't allow smoking, but she was a nervous twit.)

In fact, while the rest of us were having a joyous time, spotting landmarks and admiring the incredibly beautiful bays we were flying over, she had to ask--at the end of the flight--if Martha's Vineyard was an island. LOL!
