"Driving a car is more dangerous. But flying requires concentration. There's a lot of multitasking, but that's what makes it interesting and challenging. You don't need to make a lot of quick decisions, like in a car, but you need more of a feel for flying, than driving. ---- Ask a competition pilot whether a lot of quick decisions are needed or not... And about the risk of flying... well... But I realize which audience the text was written for so maybe it's OK to simplify. It's always nice to see our sport being mentioned in the newspapers without an accident being the reason. /Reno

Like his initiative though. Frank
