Default Scared of mid-airs

Well, neither have I.

However, nid air is one thing not too easy to recover from if it happens.

Engine out, suddenly IMC while VFR etc, all is survivable, but if a mid air
occurs (that famous .1% chance) then you can have all pilot skills and all
the hours logged you like. Your most likely toast.

That's what I feel is more scary about them. But I still fly my plane well,
and don't spend all my time thinking of them, off course not.

And Rocky, I fly thoughout Europe. I have 250 hours total, probably half of
them are long cross country trips covering most of Europe from Norway to
Italy.

I just phrased my comments becuase I felt your post was a bit harsh.
If you did not mean it that way, fine.

I too teach all my students to keep their head on a swivel. That
doesn't mean they are in fear of mid-airs to the point of
incapacitation or night sweats!
