I am an 1800 hour pilot and have spent considerable time in a twin engine turboprop flying cross country. I want to thank Jeff for the time he took to relate his flying experience with us on the LML. None of us fly the same, certainly we don't all accept the same degree of risk.

We are building fast, high altitude airplanes and the scenery will change considerably in this new plane when it is finished. It would be much better to learn from Jeff's experiences and encourage pilots to relate their tales of flying than to criticize them and discourage others from writing. Some day when you get unlucky,  Jeff's tale may save your bacon.

Let's get rid of the sarcasm and criticism and concentrate on building and flying. Don't forget that most people thought Wilbur and Orville were nuts.
