It pays to pay attention.

That's what I was trying to do...

Geezz I wonder how in the world we all got
along before everyone had radios and had to call everyone in the world
before we did anything........

Do you think radios decrease the chances of a collision at non-towered
fields?

What the hell is wrong with pilots these days?

That's exactly what I'm wondering. Life is probabilities. In flying, we
are taught to tilt the probabilities in our favor in dozens of ways. I
don't have to elaborate for a pilot with half a century of experience. We
know the Citation pilot had a radio--not using it, he/she wasn't minimizing
the chances of an accident.

Best wishes for many more years of safe flying...
