    Then consider the special ops protocols for getting the whisky

    compass to live in the real world of a highly capable, failure

    tolerant electrical system. Perhaps some day, those-who-know-

    more-about-airplanes-than-we-do will allow us to relegate the

    once venerable magnetic direction indicator to the function of

    hood ornaments.

Just for fun, will somebody please explain why do you Americans call

"Whisky" to the magnetic compass?



Is it because you only follow that needle when you had too much scotch

before flying
