Not ignorance. I've more time in Schweizers than most US pilots have
in the air total. Yes, they have their place, it's called an aluminum
recycling plant.


What a coincidence! I was just opening such a plant! Anyone
wanting to discard their Schweizer please bring it to me and
I will happily pay the going recycle rate.

Sir Mix-A-Lot lyric "pull up quick to git widdum")

Hmmm...620,000 US pilots, 130K US pilots with Airplane ATP (1500+ hrs).
Average US pilot, must have well over 300 hrs. So Liam has over 300
hours in Schweizers.

How'd he do that since they're such hunks of junk? Perhaps a
LOT of time on tow... :PPPP
