Default Aviation Accident - No "Excellent Pilot" Mention

Surprisingly, this article doesn't mention that the pilot was "an excellent
pilot with a clean history" or anything similar.

Perhaps he was reckless and had a history of accidents, but then I would
suspect that would make for interesting news as well.

Hmmmm....

"...lost what little control he had over the craft...." classic!

Default Aviation Accident - No "Excellent Pilot" Mention

Yah know, that's right every pilot that crashes was considered a "good
pilot"... So here is what I'm going to do to manage my risk of
crashing... I'm gonna start buzizng the control tower... I'm gonna take
off from the taxiway (hey, it's in better shape than the clapped out
runway)... I'm gonna just lift off the runway and fly level while I
gain speed then zoom straight up (ought to be fun)... And so on... Then
no one will say, "hey, he was a good pilot." and thus I will never,
ever crash... Neat, eh...

I think we outta start a Bad Pilot School to improve the safety record. I'm
in for 50%. Gotta get rid of all those bad habits like pre-flight, checking
weather, topping of the tanks, annual inspections, BFRs. Heck, just think
of all the time and money that would be saved.
