Have you learned anything about yourself recently?

Have you recently learned anything about yourself? What was it and what were the circumstances?

As a matter of fact I have. I never knew that I have a love for Aviation. ✈️🛫 ✈️

I am learning so much about jets and other types of aviation.

I'm catching on to the lingo the pilots and control tower 🗼 personnel use to communicate with each other.

I have learned what the different parts are of a jet/airplane ✈️ 🛫 and what does what to control the speed and altitude of the plane.

There's hydraulics, and how vital they in making all of the controls on the plane operate properly.

How deicing the plane is vital and it must be done properly or the plane will move than likely crash. If ice builds up on the wings, and they set the flaps they cannot be set because the ice stops the process.

Also I didn't know that the jet fuel (JP 4 or 6) is stored inside of the wings. My Mom always told me to sit by the wings when I would travel by jets. Ha! Yeah! And get instantly cremated if the plane catches on fire! 🔥🚒

I could go on and on because this is so interesting to me.

Goes to show that you're never too old to learn. A brain 🧠 is a terrible thing to waste!

Yes, I’ve realized that growth often comes from paying attention to the small patterns, not just big moments.

The way you react, what you tolerate, what you avoid, those quiet details tend to reveal more about you than any single turning point.

yes...

that, now.. I might like green peas, even if just a little bit

I'm learning as I age that I have less and less tolerance fot people.

That people will come and go and most of the time it has nothing to do with you.
