NW_Pilot's Trans-Atlantic Flight in a 172

i was just thinking the same thing. he's come a long way.

just proves what you can do if you put your mind to it, work hard and
don't listen to all those old farts that tell you what you can't do and
about smoking holes of aluminum test pilots. (or something like that!)

Exactly! Combine Jay's flare and talent for writing with NWP's
adventure - what a read that would be!


Augh! Don't even suggest it out loud...I'm so far behind, and there's
always so much to do... I don't have time to start transcribing, too...

NOT TRANSCRIBING!! You are a writer, so you write it! You should put
some of these stories together and send them out to the aviation rags.

I know, I know -- I've got a great one rattling around in my head about
"get-there-itis" that NEEDS to be put on paper...but when?

Ah, crap. Whenever I hear someone say they're "bored", I just stare at
them in disbelief. How in the HELL can anyone on this planet ever by
"bored"? There is SO much to do, and so little time!

True. I still worry about his lack of judgment, at times.

If the owners knew of some of his earlier actions, I wonder if they would be
so quick to give him the keys?

Isn't that true of most of us?

When it comes to actions behind the controls of an airplane, I sure hope
not. You are supposed to have grown up, and take responsibilities
seriously, at that point.

As recently as under a year ago, some postings make me think that it has not
happened, yet, for this individual.

Don't give him a free pass, Jose. I don't think he has earned it.

People *can* change. When I was 25, I used to enjoy buzzing. Making somebody
jump out a boat into the water was the height of entertainment to me. Now, I
can't imagine doing something stupid like that. I like the maximum amount of
air between me and the ground unless I'm landing. All of us are capable of
learning.

I was once asked if it was possible to teach judgement. "Absolutely", I
answered. I don't have to kill myself to learn not to do certain things. The
fact that others tried something and had a bad outcome makes an impression on
me. Am I unique? I don't think so.

I know they can. I hope he lives long enough to grow out of it. I don't
remember what it was that he posted a few months back, but whatever it was,
I was not the only one that expressed concern over his actions.

Like I said, I hope he does grow up, and learns better judgment. I don't
think it has happened yet, though, or if it has, it has happened "very"
recently.

C'mon, Jim. If he had "better judgement" he wouldn't be flying a
single-engine plane across the North Atlantic, now would he...?
