Don't know about the rest of you, but I find that site in particularly poor
taste.

I didn't. Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it. Statistics
are statistics, but reading the transcriptions...it's easy to be in that
cockpit right next to them.

I always get a charge from the photo of the two pilots turned around
for their photograph whith the Baron visible in the windshiled behind
them. Although the photo is contrived, it still gives me the shivers.

You'll have to fix the return add due to dumb virus checkers not spam

If that gives you shivers.....
You should have been in my RV-3 on Saturday.

Some bonehead at 2000 feet in a C-150 tried
to T-bone me in the left door... if I had one.
He missed vertically by 25 feet or 30 feet.
Classic case of head in the cockpit???

A couple of weeks ago, nearly identical situation.
However, I saw that perpetrator coming early on.
Like this dude, he took no evasive action at any time.

Flying low is not for me anymore, but not much way
to avoid this crowed airspace when transitioning from
cross-country to landing or takeoff.

Everyone - not only keep your head out of the cockpit,
but on a very active swivel. The other guy may not looking
out for you.....or even himself.

I dodge a crow every once in a while myself.
Durn fool perpetrators.

It sounds like with all of the problems you have with traffic, you ought to
be considering getting some type of collision avoidance system installed.
ALL the help YOU can get sounds like it is needed..

Based on your position -- far to the wrong side of the naughty-nice
continuum -- you should be surprised if Santa even shows up at your
home.
