Ol' Billy was right. Kill all the lawyers.


General aviation is doing its part. The last fatal crash at my local airport
took out a lawyer.

Was he tied down on the runway?

No need. He was flying the plane.

Boy, am glad to know that for the first time in my life I'm actually
above average. I've been trying to tell my wife that for years. Thanks
for brightening my day, Jay.

Preaching to the choir... There are quite a few of us here that are near the
same age as the averages. You know, us that were born in 1958, graduated
high school in 1977; or there abouts...

What was that saying??? "Pa, I wanna be a pilot when I grow up", "Son, you
can't do both"...

Whewww Jay....In 1958 I was a hard assed Marine DI in San Diego!

Any theories as to the almost 10-year difference between the student pilots
and the private pilots?
