From above, the secret of SLAC is revealed. It is a huge guitar, strumming particles like waves…

I hitched a ride with a colleague to San Diego today and got to do most of the piloting between 2K and 26K ft. To air traffic control, this must have looked liked a damped spiral oscillation around the vector... as a novice pilot learns the feedback lag times. I also learned from communication with ATC at my midpoint drop-off, that I was a “package”.
