A little anecdote he If you've never landed on the runway at mountainous Grundy, VA, you just THINK you've landed an airplane.

Uh..... Del? While I have the greatest respect for pilots who fly the bush, it seems a bit condescending to generalize the "alarm factor" of all lower 48 pilots. In many cases, the equipment is the limiting factor - not the pilot's ability or timidity. In other instances, the lower 48 pilot simply does not have the experience nor the need to gain such. It was not my intention to imply that *all* lower 48 pilots share Mr. Higdon's sentiments. In any field of endeavor there are always those in the minority who choose to ridicule those who are capable of things they themselves cannot do. My previous flame (if it can be called such, I thought it was fairly tame) was directed only at those few individuals. It would be equally as wrong for someone to make light of the bush driver's capacity to handle a low-visibility high-density traffic situation, simply because his steed may not have needed avionics or because he may not be accustomed to machine-gun radio traffic. Can we all just get along? Sounds good to me. Rich "I ain't got big tires" S. Hey, I'm just a low time wannabe who hangs out with real bush pilots, as far as that goes. I'm actually considering putting little tires with wheelpants on my Bearhawk, on the theory that when I am flying airport to airport, I want to go fast. The rest of the time I plan to spend on floats. 8^) Maybe after I have a couple thousand hours I will consider playing in the sticks and rocks like that. ---------------------------------------------------- Del Rawlins- Remove _kills_spammers_ to reply via email.
