I don't remember seeing BOb say he'd flown 9000 hours without
accident. In fact he quite admirably fessed up in this very NG that
he'd had some certified accidents that apparently he survived in one
piece.

But anyway, this is the group for experimental aviation discussion so
we should be discussing experiments and new ways to look at old
problems. The only thing constant is change, as much as some people
hate to see it.
