![]() Now that two people she's met have died flying in a relatively short period of time, she's getting less and less secure about my own flying. Every time I head out to the airport, she gives me the talk. "Be careful. Don't die. If you have the slightest doubt, come back." Etc. And so on. I don't think she'll tell me to stop, because she knows I was a pilot before we married. But what can I do to reassure her? The pilot community is pretty small, and losing three people associated with our little club is pretty scary for her. Paul, Sounds pretty familiar... my wife is on the same page as your wife. I had two co-workers die in a plane crash in 2002, and my boss barely survived it. The sad truth is that too many people die in GA accidents, many of them unnecessarily (bad choices, bad luck, or all of the above). The best you can do is to be as safe a pilot as you can, demonstrate to her that you are doing everything you can to stay safe, and resign yourself to the fact that she probably won't fly much with you. Solo is how you will do most of your flying unless you have other pilot friends to go up with. Dean |
