The high time rec pilot winds up doing different things

I took this to mean a pilot with a Recreational Pilot Certificate.
You obviously meant something else, probably Private/Comm Pilot.


shooting an ILS to mins at night, in an airplane he only got
into that morning, with no operative directional gyro and no
compass light (thus no heading indication at all) - or some
equivalent mess. Single pilot.

Oh...a true Idiot. So...airline pilots can't fly because they
are unwilling to risk their life like that idiot Private Pilot?

Just where do you live?

I mean someone who flies primarily for recreation, rather than for a
living. That should have been obvious from the context. Most
recreational pilots with thousands of hours do have advanced ratings.

It takes a true idiot to volunteer to do this intentionally. But when
weather is forecast to be VFR but instead does its own thing, and when
equipment that was certified good fails in flight, you do what needs to
be done to land the airplane. Or you die. Most of the 2000 hour guys
I know in the right seat of regional airliners would die. Fortunately
they're flying equipment that is much better maintained, with far less
flexibility, and in a crew environment so it all works out.

Figure it out. It's not that hard. The software engineer who wanted
to train with me figured out who and where I was quite easily.

The person to whom thisoldairplane.com is registered, of course

Looking up the owner of a domain isn't terribly difficult, but it's not
terribly useful either. Several people have email addresses that trace
to her, most of them are pilots, and some of them post here regularly.
No points so far.

Well, I figured that thisoldairplane.com was your domain since you have an
account named 'usenetreplies'... Just curious if that was your girl friend /
wife / significant other / whatever... I guess it's also possible that
you're just having a gender identity crisis... snicker
