?You know it?s a bad landing when you?re upside down? is the title I used on this forum last November, and the thread was read over 13,500 times. Now I need some help. After the nose-over and the ensuing injuries, I had a lot of time on my hands, so I wrote a book about the whole experience. We are in the final stages of editing, and I hope to have it published before Christmas. My challenge at this stage is to come up with an appropriate title.
The book is divided into thirds: the first third tells about building, flying, and the crash; the second third tells about hospitals, surgeries, and recovery; and the last third tells about the lessons learned through all of this.
I?ve thought about using ?You know it?s a bad landing when you?re upside down? and I?ve also thought of ?Bad Landing ? Broken Neck ? Borrowed Insights.? I have several others, but I didn?t want to put them all out here. We have so many sharp people on the site and quite a few wordsmiths?someone recently proposed a title for the future book that Vlad needs to write, and I thought it was well done.
So if you come up with a good idea, please pass it on. You will have my undying gratitude, and the privilege of seeing your creative efforts on the front of a book. Thanks for thinking about this, and I don?t want to tie up the site, so if you want to respond off-line, that would be great.
Thanks also for your thoughts, prayers, and well wishes. Keep them going for Doug and his family.
