Well, there is always the favorite cloud ... "cumulo granite" or that
famous last quote "say, what is that mountain goat doing up here in
the clouds" ...

My favorite was always "nothing more useless than runway behind
you and altitude above you"

True, but there are factors us pilots don't have to deal with that are
commonplace on the road. The biggest is there is typically nothing to
hit. I can tell you I sure ain't tuning radios or talking to controllers
when I'm the third ship in a 4 ship formation.
