No Bonanza? He must not be a real Doctor.

I always felt safe flying the club's Bonanza, since I'm not a doctor, it
won't kill me. Of course, it was a bit worrying the time I did have a
doctor as a passenger...

At SPX, we had one pilot who owned a Beech Duke with a very questionable
maintenance history and corrosion problems you wouldn't believe. He
never even looked at the plane before getting in and flying off - each
of the once-per-six-months flights he did. The Duke is boarded by an aft
cabin door - we speculated that the right wing could be missing outboard
of the right engine, and he wouldn't notice until he rotated for
takeoff.
