I won't even ride my motorcycle if I've had more than 2 drinks (plus several hours AND a full meal). Why would someone actually try and fly like that?? |

Be that as it may. I've seen a large number of pilots fly with a heavy load of booze through the years. To the best of my knowledge none were ever in an accident (or a fatality). Can't say it couldn't happen, but was not a 100% accident waiting to happen. I remember onetime I was giving an evaluation to a full Colonel in a single pilot fighter. We took off in formation with me on his wing into a thunderstorm and climbed through it to on top. Lots of turbulence, lighting, etc and he was as steady as a rock (maybe just froze on the controls G. He was a WWII jock that was in the Guard. I do agree though, booze and flying is not the best combination. Big John On 20 Nov 2003 15:50:35 -0800, (Sam) wrote: Anonymous Nobody wrote in message ...
