That description does not apply to Ed Lewis. He was a superior pilot
with superior judgement. I'm not sure what exactely led up to the
decision to return early that night but if Ed decided to go I would
say most pilot would have gone. A lot of pilots say they have certain
limits but most fudge them when the situation is just right. That
should give us all pause.
