I understand that you want to fly for a few more years.




Please install Powerflarm (so that I can see you coming). You can


turn the volume down. You don't have to learn how to use it.




I understand that you're more scared of dying than I am. I don't have

Flarm so keep a really good lookout.



In all age rugby, players over a certain age have patches on their

shorts so the 80-year-olds don't get tackled as hard. In the same

spirit, I've painted a small pirate-style eye patch below my cockpit to

give you fair warning. Watch out for it!

That's really funny GC - until you are being warned by PFlarm of a target heading right at you that you had no idea was there. Your lookout is just not good enough and at your age (I honestly have no idea) you probably cannot turn your head far enough to see what's going on behind you.
I'm also really weary of people not afraid of dying...
