From the time Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf first took the pulpit at general conference, members around the world have loved his stories about airplanes and the poignant gospel lessons he draws from them. In fact, his history of sharing tales of flight has led many listeners to find themselves internally asking a question as soon as he gets up to speak—the same question Elder Uchtdorf voiced one memorable conference: “What does it have to do with flying an airplane?” Here is a collection of just a few of those aerodynamic analogies.
