Discussing whacko pilots isn't appropriate in a piloting newsgroup?

Get a grip, Larry. I'm sincerely afraid to share the airspace with guys who
think someone Else is steering...

My sister-in-law had one of those "God is my co-pilot" bumper stickers. She got
really ****ed when I pointed out that if God wrapped it around a tree, he'd be
back in three days but she would not.

"God was my co-pilot, but we crashed in the mountains and I had to eat
Him."

I've actually seen this on stuff online - tshirts, stickers, something
like that. It suits me!

They hardly seemed like "whacko" pilots from your description. They seemed like sincere individuals with a message they thought they should share with you. I'll agree that they really should have quit when you resisted, but you really didn't need to go on about it as if it were the worst thing that's ever happened to you. Was it the worst thing that has ever happened to you

I'm sincerely afraid to share the airspace with guys wh
think someone Else is steering..


Then you really should quit flying

Your turn to get a grip, Larry. You could say exactly the same thing
about a group of neo-nazi skinheads. "Sincerity" is no excuse for such
rude, boorish behavior.

Oh, man. People who don't believe God controls their actions shouldn't
fly? You're starting to sound a little creepy.

You misunderstand. If Jay is afraid to share the air with people who give God a significant place in their lives, then he should quit flying because I know the two he ran into aren't the only ones.

I think it's a matter of degree. God plays a "significant role" in this
country, without harm. If this is what you mean by "significant", I'm all
for it.

However, I got the impression that these guys, when confronted with an
in-flight emergency, might conceivably just sit back and wait for a miracle.
THAT scares me.

Just check what is printed on your money.

hmm. If government says that they trust in God ('In God we trust'), they
also must believe in Santa Claus.
