REFLECTOR: From IVO

[Brian Michalk]

Also, never buy tires unless first checking for squareness, as it might tend
to shimmy on touchdown.  Oh, might want to have it  balanced within a
microgram, like the certified ones are.

Also, I'd never recommend landing at any speed above 50KTS, as that's
probably dangerous.
I'm sure there are other clever remarks I could make about things I have no
knowledge about, but I can't think of any at the moment.
