Landed in a field. No significant damage. Had the plane towed away
before
authorities found out about it.

Now that is terrifying.

I've only met one pilot in ten years that would truly fit your description
(although I've certainly met quite a few with SOME of those
characteristics), and the guy scared the crap out of me.


I've met one, and heard tell of another one. The second took a few lessons,
solo'ed then bought an airplane. Decided that one wasn't fast enough, so
bought a Twin Comanche, he'd routinely fly it from NJ to FL, right down the
east coast. Remember, still a solo'ed student here. Don't worry though,
he's long since killed himself in one of his planes. The kicker was, this
guy was a lawyer! Even though it happened 30+ years ago, I wonder if his
estate sued?

If I could know when he was flying, I'd stay on the ground that day.

Dunno about that one, he might crash into you. I'd much rather be up in the
air; think I've got better odds that way.
