Okay. If this is an April Fool's Joke... you got me.

I'm just going to drop these links right here. No comment needed.

Evan, the second article you posted by Nadler should be required reading for anyone who desires to do more than float around the home field. I feel he nailed almost every point I have been trying to express.

One aspect he touches on that I feel needs more emphasis is the phenomenon of fairly low time pilots who happen to have the funds to afford high performance ships and play in the regionals. He points out that these guys "try" to immulate what they see the experienced guys do but without their own necessary experience to even know they are in trouble! This is so very true. I have seen it numerous times myself.

Talk on safety from someone that knows.

Definitely... this is quickly becoming one of the most productive threads i've seen to date on RAS.

Awesome stuff! I remember the first time I read Dave Nadler's article. It was
- in one word - compelling. (Still is!) I can't remember if I wrote to him or
to "Soaring" mag's editor, but it warranted written kudos! The other two links
are of equally compelling content. Thanks for posting!
