Idiot Teen Buzzes football Game.
This is just exactly the type of press that general aviation does not need.

http://www.charlotte.com/local/story/353335.html For sure. Although, I'm sure it seemed like about the coolest thing in the world to do, at age 17... I can see my son (also 17 and about to take his checkride) in this scenario. Hopefully he'd show better judgement, but you can bet we'll be discussing this incident. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

I think it's funny how people can laugh at this sort of thing when it happened back in the day, but for some reason have a completely opposite reaction when it happens in the present time. Does anyone remember that scene in One Six Right when those WWII vets were reminiscing about when they were teenagers flying down low along the trains (and I'm sure they've done worst things than that, too)? You never hear people calling them idiots. Back then it was cute, not it's "idiotic". To me it sounds like the exact same thing... |

For better or worse, we simply don't live in the same world that we did "back in the day". For example, there was also a time when drunk driving was considered cute, but today that same behavior will earn you a felony conviction and time behind bars. Dangerous flying has always been a stupid thing to do. One important difference from "back in the day", is that today your stupidity is more likely to adversely affect the rest of us pilots rather than just yourself. Vaughn |

Vaughn Another difference from "back in the day" is that once upon a time, flying was the coolest thing around. Pilots were heroes, planes were every kid's fantasy, and airplane accidents were frequent enough that they were not huge newsmakers. Today, "those little airplanes" are annoying, pilots are "rich guys", every accident is front page news, and mass air transit has turned flying from an idyllic dream to a 600 mph Greyhound with the potential for a cavity search. People don't have the tolerance for flying today that they had once upon a time. KB |
