That doesn't say very much about the intelligence of the company you are
keeping, does it? g


Why would you say that?

Much of the non-pilot public think our Spam cans fall instantly out of
the sky if the engine stops, are surprised that we actually have heat
and radios in them, and think of flying light aircraft as something
"daredevils" and "thrill seekers" do.

First, let me say that I made the comment in a joking sense.

As far as why I said it, when the person asked if the pilot made a mistake, that
was where I was coming from with the comment.

It just was not a very well thought out question, I thought.

As in, "Duh, he screwed up and ran into a building. Do you think that counts as
a mistake? "

No offense, I hope.

See ya;
