Wow, thanks for that sobering piece of advice. And here I was, just

sure glad you stopped me. I'd hate to be the reason that GA went
away.

There are lots of pilots taking stupid risks. Some of them will
flippantly deny doing so, too, although it's hard to hide one's errors
from the NTSB.




Something you'll never have to worry about since you will never, ever
fly..

I see the bait was taken, with only a slight delay. Nice.

Well, I *was* hoping. But it *was* like examining a discarded ticket for a
past lotto drawing...

Haha, the three most dangerous words in GA. "Check this out!"

I see on the CNN Web page not one but two reports of GA plane crashes.
General Aviation isn't inherently dangerous, so the large number of crashes
can only mean that there are lots of bad pilots and poorly-maintained aircraft
out there. And the accidents that occur as a result are ruining the
reputation of GA in the eyes of the public.

If you must fly, make sure you know what you are doing, and don't take stupid
risks. And make sure that the aircraft you're flying is in flyable (safe)
condition. Otherwise there eventually won't be any general aviation any more.

Very good, skilled pilots in well maintained airplanes crash and die.
I know of several who have. It only takes one moment of bad luck,
inattentiveness, or an unforseen problem to take you out. The
probability may not be high for any of these, but they do happen.

Even sitting in your worn out chair playing with your PC you could
die. Deep vein thrombosis, heart attack, or even a meteorite crashing
through your roof could kill you, not to mention a strafing run from a
real pilot who reads your posts on this newsgroup.

So don't be so smug and self-righteous.

You can be struck by lightning, too.

Or are you saying that GA is so incredibly dangerous that it should be
avoided--or outlawed?

So don't be so smug and self-righteous.

You haven't said this about other people who have posted essentially the same
thing.

There's a difference between being self-righteous and being correct.
