JFK Jr.

I had a simple answer: "If he'd been my student he wouldn't be dead
now and we wouldn't be having this converstation."


Gene,

With all due respect to your no-doubt considerable instructing prowess, some
people are just too stupid to save themselves. I agree that the conditions
were such that he should have been able to hand-fly it out, let alone click
the autopilot on the minute things got touchy, but IMHO the real problem
happened when he took off. If you know how to train a Kennedy to not take
idiotic risks you should become a therapist and open an office in LA.
