Re: Deadstick.
When did "hoMing-in" become "honing-in"? I've never heard of a honing pigeon.

The hardest thing about flying is knowing when to say no
After over a half a century of flying no one ever died because of my decision not to fly.

"hoNing in" must be a local thing. I've never heard or seen that expression. I've only heard "hoMing in". And "hoRning in", of course, but not in a specifically aviation context.NunavutPA-12 wrote:When did "hoMing-in" become "honing-in"? I've never heard of a honing pigeon.
