"There is an art . . . to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss"
— Douglas Adams, 'The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy'
A friend of mine's father was Chief Pilot at an aviation service in Renton, Wa. Their family cat, a big stripey tom appropriately named Kittyhawk, was a frequent flyer, riding along on a special pad attached to the right shoulder strap of the safety harness of the pilot. Kittyhawk was "Check Pilot in Command" and would watch everything going on and make critical comments from time to time.

"Glory! No more regulations!
Rip them down at every station!
Ground the guy that tries to make one!
And LET US FLY LIKE HELL!"

Ah, the news got it wrong....the cat was the flight engineer...just doing his job in-flight!
