Boyer is responsible for the decline in GA, and he supports a large
increase in the Avgas tax.


Not according to the junkmail AOPA sends me with his name on it.

Well, then, by all means, fly recklessly in half-broken aircraft, and enjoy
the consequences.

Could be worse, you could be flying, or trying to.


I'm actually almost pathologically safety-conscious in vehicles, and I would
be an extraordinarily safe pilot.

Wow, thanks for that sobering piece of advice. And here I was, just about
to go out and take some stupid risks without knowing what I was doing in an
airplane that wasn't in flyable (safe) condition. I'm 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.

No, you wouldn't be because you would never be able to fly

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

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.

large number of crashes

As usual, you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
But I guess if you can only count to 5, then 2 must be a "large
number"!

Do you really think anyone here cares at all what conclusions you
reach or stupid "words of wisdom" you have to offer about aviation?
What a moron.

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