Come on... I recall a certain high profile inadvertent thunderstorm
penetration accident that claimed the life of a famous octogenarian pilot
last year.

No one is immune.

Dang!

Just when Denny had me feeling all smug and superior, Peter lets the air out.

Yeah, and his relatives should have sued the propellor manufacturer
for causing his crash - it was obviously defective!

As for the suggestion that old pilots are just the leftovers from the
weeding out process - don't be giving an old pilot like me new
thoughts like that, it confuses me...
