No, you used proper judgement consistent with your abilities.

Thanks Ron.

Sounds like you've done enough flying over enough years to be a safe
pilot, and one I'd be pleased to fly with. However, given the level of
arrogance and cocksure'edness displayed in your comments here, I'm not
sure that I would be so pleased to fly with you when you were younger
and/or less experienced.

Living pilots can always point to their existence as evidence of their
superior skills and judgement. And worse, they can always point to
other pilots' demise as evidence of their lacking the same.

Fate is the Hunter, and there but for the grace of ...

Bill Watson - not believing in fate or god, yet humble in the face of
both nonetheless

Bill, you are using an incorrect meaning of "arrogant." Arrogant is
saying I am the best pilot around. I have never said that and
probably never will. But despite the other response what I lack in
experience/training I make up for in good judgement...hence I am safe.

BTW, for those of you who defend Lidle, his actions jeopardized people
in that building and on the ground.

My fate in is my hands, not "by the grace of..."
