Very enlightening link.

OK, the movie is called "The Aviator".

What was this "aviator" like?


.....Daily lessons yet took a year to earn his certificate. Thats DAILY
lessons!

....wrecked many aircraft, *killing* two of his crew.

....used "road maps" instead of aeronautical charts to save money

.... Ignored ATC (gasp!)

.... Lied on flight plans

.... Flew VFR in IMC

.... Cut off others in the pattern

....Abandoned aircraft
