I definitely have to say, it was one of my most useful flights.


This is what I like about pilots. After an experience like this, 97% of the
population would be screaming "Never again!" -- and would probably never set
foot on an airport again.

Pilots, on the other hand, just say "Hmmm...that was a valuable learning
experience..."

Great story -- thanks for sharing it!

Interesting observation, Jay. I think you are correct about that. Pilots have a
different perspective on taking risks, and are more analytical than emotional
about accident reports. Perhaps that's a trait that led us to become pilots, or
perhaps the additional knowledge we share gives us more information to analyze.

So, are pilots also correspondingly analytical and unemotional when faced with
accident reports from outside aviation? Say, a boating accident, or a
farm-tractor accident, or a fill in the activity accident? Just musing, when
I'm supposed to be working. :-)
