Cleared for take off?

       In retrospect, it seems that this week I had a thing about flight.  I saw these and had the comical thought.  "Break - STEP."  I've never, to memory, done a Break step - BUT - with these two being sort of "out-of-phase" that was the phrase which leapt, unbidden, to the fore.
       Extra - Couldn't not add it.  "The power of Nature."  One is forced to wonder two things?
1. How long did this take?
2. How will it end? Home win for Nature?
