Kyler . . . every pilot has done dumb things.

That's an astute observation. Thank you for sharing it.

You brought it up, jerk.

I welcome you to point out anything I said that makes you think
I made any comment even hinting that some pilots don't do dumb
things, genius.

Idiot. This guy is an adventurer . . . not a typical spamcan driver with a
PPL. By your logic, when Steve Fossett tries to balloon around the world, and
gets forced down in the middle of Russia or some remote part of China, nobody
should help him either.

You're not doing well applying my logic. I certainly wouldn't
suggest such a thing and to pretend that no help has been offered
or given to this pilot is to ignore the facts as stated in the
article you quoted.

Are you asserting that Steve Fossett made no contingency plans
(other than "hope someone helps me") before his flights? Do you
want to put some money behind that or just continue with the name
calling?

Yes, I realize that there are US citizens who always expect to be
bailed out when they fail to plan ahead. I'm not one of them. (I
just work in California. I live in Indiana.)

Idiot. He's not asking to be "bailed out". He just wants to buy some fuel.

Did he think about that *before* taking off?
