Personally, I feel far more endangered by the guy in the huge Canyonero SUV in
the lane next to me on I-5 than by a J-3 popping by overhead.

Ron,

I flew next to a guy that literally couldn't find the runway
unless his co-pilot pointed it out to him. He needed a
magnifying glass to read a restaurant menu. I didn't
realize how bad he was until it was too late and we were
already well into our long trip back east.

He kept flying even though he was obviously ready for a
white cane...

You probably know him, too... is he still flying??
