I have to add a moment that was not on a flight but still was an interesting interaction.
18 years or so ago -- n my second time behind the stick of a Cessna 172 -- I was waiting for a NW 727 to takeoff first. I met the Captain inside the terminal and he gave me a couple of pointers about dealing with wind resistance. After the 727 took off, it was my turn and I successfuly used the advice I had just been given. The NW captain radioed me and said, "Nice takeoff. Now it's Miller time."
