i Did anybody else watch the video ? He is claiming that the

i if he would do anything different next time he said he would
i have taken the controls and turned away from Washington.

i Does anybody believe this new story ?

I believe the pilot is a confused coward who, having screwed up, isn't
man enough to admit it, and instead is more or less blaming the
student pilot! I wonder if the student was going to try to log the
time? They should bust him too. A real couple of bozos.

Agree that blaming the student is the most coward thing to do. It doesn't
matter who was driving, but who was the pilot in command. If the airplane
had an autopilot, maybe he would have blamed the autopilot!!!

I don't really think we can judge the man on the basis of the video
interview. The highly publicized incident caught the attention of the
fancy lawyer, and from there on the man is a marionette. Of course he will
not admit having done anything wrong. For all we know, he is remorseful
and wishes he could just fess up and take the medecine he deserves.

The next thing we'll see is him (through the silk suit on his right)
sueing Cessna for inadequate guidance systems on his 40 year-old 152. And
winning!

We can judge him on his actions. His flight through the DC ADIZ alone is
reason to judge him, but keep in mind his lawyer works for him. If he's not
man enough to control his own lawyer, it's all the more reason I'd rather
not have him in a cockpit. If he's remorseful, he needs to express it. In
the meantime, he *is* getting his medicine.

Believable, but doubtful nonetheless.

Cessna 152 was introduced in 1978 - 27 years ago.

I agree with this only if the lawyer isn't charging Mr. Schaeffer for this case.
If Schaeffer is paying for it, he's just a lying sleazeball trying to weasel out
of taking responsibility for his actions.
