I don't buy the point you made about his ex-instructor putting him
in the top 5% of his students. If he was that good, he would have kept
flying. To be that good, you have to love it. And if he loved it, he
wouldn't have stopped.


I agree, that's odd.

But I've known a fair number of pilots who quit flying. I don't know how,
or why.


Someone I worked with was an A-10 driver and a test pilot. He
doesn't fly anymore because bugsmasher flying isn't why he loved
flying. A friend who was an F-111 WSO talks about how the flying
I do in my 140 ain't anything like the low level flying he did.
