Sometimes that happens in Flight Simulator, too, but it doesn't cost
$1.4 million.

"Pilot error blamed in August Predator crash"

Um, wouldn't that be ..."controller" error?

Those were unmanned posts controlled by my newsreader and my ISP.

<ducking and running>

If their shop teacher had taught the students how to properly fasten down
their work to the drill press base, that wouldn't happen! <g>

I dunno...back when I flew only radio control, I considered myself a pilot.
At contests, we always had "pilots meetings."

It was an airplane and the guy was flying it. That makes him the pilot in my
book, whether he was on board or not.

The advantage of that kind of flying is that you can walk away from some very
bad landings, indeed.
