Hit your left rudder.
Not your right, your left.

:37:09
You're losing altitude fast.
:37:11
You're gonna crash.
:37:14
All right. Come on out.
You died a beautiful death.

:37:19
This, gentlemen, perfectly sums up
today's discussion of blind flying.

:37:23
This pilot crashed because
he trusted his senses.

:37:26
His semicircular ear canals
lead him to believe, in the darkness...

:37:29
...he was turning left when he was
turning right.

:37:32
Never trust your senses.
:37:33
Trust your instrument board.
:37:41
Did my demonstration bore you,
Lieutenant Lee?

:37:44
Oh, not at all, sir.
It brought up pleasant memories.

:37:47
I studied the semicircular canals
in second-year medicine.

:37:50
Did you, now?
:37:52
You also learned all about blind flying
at Harvard, Hopkins and Cambridge.

:37:56
Oh, yes, I did quite a bit there, sir.
In a hopped-up jalopy, of course.

:38:00
You must've been the pride and joy
of your professors.

:38:02
You have no idea how they adored me.
:38:06
Keep that if you like it.
:38:14
Dr. Lee and all of you gentlemen,
a flight surgeon has been described...

:38:19
...as a combination of Dutch uncle
and father confessor.

:38:22
Because he's more
than the pilot's physician...

:38:24
...he's a judge of their fitness to go on
with the work they've chosen.

:38:27
For this task,
he must be conscientious...

:38:30
...and above all, humble,
or he has no business being here.

:38:34
Tomorrow, we'll take up the effect of
anoxia on the electrocardiogram.

:38:38
Class dismissed.
:38:40
Boy, you sure got guts talking back
to him like that.

:38:42
Surly character, isn't he?
:38:44
I bet a blood sample would show gall,
bile, with a good dash of sulfuric acid.

:38:53
Here's the one I'm working on now.
:38:55
- See that strong bulkhead?
- Yeah.

:38:58
What are the forces that pull
on a diving pilot when he blacks out?
