One thing I don't get ... why are we blaming NW? Yeah he's a bit of a dork
for bragging about it, but didn't he do that roll with a CFI present?
Wasn't that CFI presumably encouraging if not directing that behavior?

If I were the FSDO, I would give NW a stern lecture about who to trust, then
send him on his way. Then I would suspend the CFI's flying and instructing
certs, and consider criminal charges against him. He's the one who violated
the trust of his student and the government that certified him to instruct.

I've not followed NW's background, and never quite got whether or not he was
a student pilot flying with a CFI when this incident occurred. My
understanding is that he owns a 150, but the one used for the roll wasn't
his. I also understand that there was a CFI in the airplane.
If NW is certificated, it's bad enough, but if he is indeed a student, the
CFI should be grounded immediately. Had this instructor worked for me , he
would never set foot in one of my airplanes ever again.

Hi Dudley,

It's all your fault. I hadn't been on in a few days, brought up the
News Group and wondered why I was getting RAP when I should have been
getting RAS. Installed the damn news reader three times before I
figured out you shook the trees and all the nuts fell off... er ...
out...

I ain't never going fishing with you. You'd have the boat full before
I got the bait on the hook.

It's amazing ain't it? I'm like a lightning rod for some of these people.
First it's the Fellowship signature. They don't like that! Then it's the
Fellowship itself! Must be a bunch of idiots who all signed up to please a
"fan" :-) Then it's my pilot certificates. They can't find um! Then it's my
working on the flight simulator for the software folks. They think they
REALLY found something THERE :-))) Man, I'm telling you, Usenet could be
used as a basis for a mathematical constant by psychiatrists. Your state of
mental degradation should be roughly directly proportional to the time you
spend on Usenet! :-)
And I'm including myself in this equation. Bea says I'm absolutely NUTS to
keep posting on this group! For the life of me I'm beginning to think she's
right!!!
On well....support mental health I always say. Thank God the good people
around here seem to outnumber the morons. Of course Bea says that me
sticking around here to take all this crap kind of puts one extra in the
moron column :-)

Some come here in goodwill and leave only intelligence.
We judge and respond to the demonstration of both,
the rest is inconsequential.

Blue skies to all
