Default Big scare story


"Mortimer Schnerd, RN" wrote

I was quite shaken when we got on the ground. I asked my friend why in

the hell
did he turn IN FRONT of me? He apparently was so confident in the

superior
performance of his twin over my C-210 he was absolutely certain he could
out-accelerate me around the turn.


All I can say, is "what a dumbass." That does not seem like something you
should make and "estimate" on. Also, the first rule of formation flying is
to have your wingman in sight, at all times, right?

I'm glad it turned out OK for you, that day. :-)
