Twilight Zone
Cue the music.
Just eight days ago I put “Lawn Chair Larry” in one of my “FAA History Lesson” posts.
Lo and behold, what do I read today ?
Oregon man takes lawn chair up to 13,000 feet, travels 193 miles

The Flick -- A term used by air traffic controllers to describe a mental model representing the current and future positions of air traffic in a section of airspace. Controllers visualize the paths of multiple aircraft in terms of position, altitude, trajectory and speed. Controllers also refer to this as "having the picture." But the picture moves -- like a movie -- hence the term “the flick.”
