Sounds like you are mister perfect hope you dont screw up

Ron,

 

I hope I don't screw up, too. That's why I do not screw around in airplanes. This guy is very lucky he did not kill himself and his passengers. His actions were grossly negligent. I sincerely hope the FAA takes action against his pilot certificates.

 

The whole country got to go through a similar circus show this summer when Corey Lidle was killed in a plane crash in New York when he and his flight instructor flew a perfectly good (Cirrus) airplane into the side of a building. In case you were asleep for about a month or off this planet at the time, that accident now limits your ability to fly around Manhattan.

 

If this pilot had killed an Olympic gold medalist we would have heard much more than we have thus far. Every dumb pilot trick causes the rest of us pilots to be scrutinized by non pilots, to be restricted by more government regulation, to be charged more for insurance premiums, etc. This accident was dumb, plain and simple.

 

I am not "mr. perfect" but I sure know stupid when I see it.

 

Regards,
