Posted for vtailjeff@aol.com:

  Of 146 Lancair accidents... 67 involved loss of control by the pilot. Now
when I took a pilot certificate test, the examiner told me that if I lost
control of the airplane the checkride was over and I would get a pink slip. 67
of our pilots got a permanent pink slip. Loss of control is pretty basic
flying, yet these guys failed to do it. Ran off the runway, collapsed the
gear, stalled the aircraft, etc. lost control. When you are not flying the
airplane...bad things happen....
