Ricky you had a bad case of Getthereitis and we all know one very
possible outcome of that.


I understand getthereitis but in no way was safety compromised on this
trip. Opening the throttle wide about 15-20 min. during my descent
isn't unsafe. Beautiful day, perfect flight, I did not "push" Texas
Aero to try to quickly fix the non-starting 172 but (grudgingly) took
the 152 instead, I did ask for approach to PLEASE CONFIRM there was no
way of getting into Midland Intl. (which was the extent of my
"begging"), this flight's safety was simply not threatened unless my
emotions could possibly get in the way, which they didn't.
Your judgement of "getthereitis" is not accurate in my case but I
appreciate your warning-in-hindsight.

Ricky (Who has flown unsafely under getthereitis which I'll share in a
new post)
