Two seats is all you need

You gotta stop taking those stupid pills. :-) No, I'm sure I'm angry at people like Collins, because probably I'm naive and believe people should write the truth instead of what will keep the full page ads flowing in. The fact is, looking back, all the magazines published what the advertisers wanted said, and that's the way they stayed in business. As I get older I realize that is the natural way of life, and common not only to airplane publications, but all periodicals that take advertising. Camera magazines don't tell you the old cameras were better and you shouldn't buy the new plastic camera. Guitar magazines don't tell you the new Fender guitars are poorly made and sound terrible and need a fret job so you can play them. (That isn't true today but it was for almost a decade.) What can I say, I was crazy then. I have no love for trial lawyers and I would loive to see their income crimped off, too. But the fact is , if any industry needed a hiding it was this one. |

How about the truth of answering the question put to you? (i.e., proof of your original contention) Until you answer that, the rest of your posts are properly ignored. |

Limiting family trips in personal aircraft is good because that's what
generates get-home-itis and the kind of crashes that cause the alleged liability problems. What?? Where does that come from? Most all my flying is with my family. I'm more likely to adjust my risk management assesemtn when I'm flying by myself than with my family. Seems like you have some backwards logic to me. When you are flying with your family aboard, your "home" is in the back seat!! For sure. Flying with my wife and kids -- my usual mission profile -- makes me the most cautious pilot on the planet. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Much less likely to take chances with my family on board. George Patterson Drink is the curse of the land. It makes you quarrel with your neighbor. It makes you shoot at your landlord. And it makes you miss him. |
