Default Bad pilots, bad maintenance ruining general aviation

large number of crashes
lots of bad pilots and poorly-maintained aircraft


As usual, you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
But I guess if you can only count to 5, then 2 must be a "large
number"!

Do you really think anyone here cares at all what conclusions you
reach or stupid "words of wisdom" you have to offer about aviation?
What a moron.

I see on the CNN Web page not one but two reports of GA plane crashes.
General Aviation isn't inherently dangerous, so the large number of
crashes
can only mean that there are lots of bad pilots and poorly-maintained
aircraft
out there. And the accidents that occur as a result are ruining the
reputation of GA in the eyes of the public.


Get off it. A Cub can crash out of a dirt strip in the Ozarks and it makes
national news. On the same day, 1000 people can get killed on the highway in
Arkansas, and it's a footnote in the local paper.

Been one of my gripes for 50 years.

Be that as it may, the stories on GA crashes do damage; the non-stories on
highway fatalities do not.

What have you done about it?

This is toooooo funny. Doesn't France provide free psychiatric
care?

Since you are expert in everything, I am having a problem with low
pressure in one of the zones on my lawn sprinkler system. Could you
provide some advice on how to diagnose the problem and then fix it?

Where do you think housing prices in the US will settle out?

Why do you think $1mm is not alot of $$ in the US? Would it be worth
alot in France?

Please provide a comprehensive peace plan for Iraq and the Middle East
in general. Are you in touch with General Petraeus? If not, please
send him an e-mail. I am sure he could benefit from your wisdom.

He can't help you, but I might... I had the same problem the other
night. Let the zone run for 1/2 an hour until a mound appeared in the
grass. Stabbed my foot into it and out gushed a bunch of water.
Guess who gets to splice a poly pipe tonight? Arrrghh!

Don't take offense, but I am going to wait until the underemployed guy
from France gives his opinion. It is the most prudent course of
action.

Sorry to come back here guys, but I just couldn't resist. I'll be on
my way now.

Take care.

Look for leaks. A leak will manifest by an excess of water at some point on
the lawn.
