Are the naysayers about general aviation *right*? Do we have any
right to risk ourselves and others for what amounts to a hobby?


Jay:

I fly a small single-engine aircraft (yes, even at night). I even fly single
pilot IFR in my own single-engine aircraft (well, not right now since I'm
not current). I even ride a motorcycle.

But remember what happened to me last year in Cedar Rapids? I tripped
crossing a street, for pete's sake! My injury wasn't *immediately* life
threatening, but I wasn't in surgery a few hours later for kicks and giggles.

Enjoy life. Manage your risks, but enjoy life.
