... JFK Jr. wasn't yet rated and he didn't have a close call; he died and took two people with him. The only positive is that his own criminal negligence killed him as well as his passengers. I wasn't aware that night flight required a rating...if we're gonna be literal in here lets go all the way. Jesus, I make a comment and it's dissected by idiots. In Europe, a night qualification course is normally offered as an add on to the European JAR PPL, plus, you must have completed a night takeoff / landing within the previous 90 days if you intend to carry a passenger. YES I KNOW the accident occurred in Yankeeland. But why dump on a guy who paid the full price for his mistake? Roger. who only fly's VFR these days, and is happier for it Learn to punctuate and you'll be even happier. er...there's a difference between punctuation and spelling. I think his point was that my writing is becoming sloppy. An observation that's hard to dispute. Roger. |

My point actually had nothing to do with your comment and more to do with the constant over-correcting that goes on in the aviation NG's. (which leads to disclaimers like the following) Of course, being precise *IS* important and we should all try to do better. It seems all you have to do is make a comment that Air Force One is a 747 and you'll get 37 posts ranging from "Actually Air Force One is any U.S. Air Force aircraft that the President of the United States is on" to "Air Force One is a 747-400 s/n 1372683 in run A3Z". Who gives a flip!?!? Everyone knew what I meant. An outsider looking in would think we're all scared to death someone else might be smarter than us. I think his point was that my writing is becoming sloppy. An observation that's hard to dispute. No dispute, just my vain attempt at smart-assdom. |
