share the airport parking lot.
I remember going to lunch with a flight instructor and having her drive. She
scared the crap out of me. Not that she was aggressive; it was more that she
was just a **** poor driver.... wandered over the lines, etc. I tried to get
her to let me drive back but no go.
She's flying for a major now. As I recall, she was a good pilot; just a really
bad driver. I don't think there's any correlation at all. You'd think the
hand-eye coordination would help but apparently there are other factors at work.
