Fascinating stuff about Cirrus Aircraft

[Conundrum 1]

In reality I'm just a cynic that can't fly airplanes and lost my best friend to an idiot not looking where he was going. Nothing wrong with Cirrus airplanes, or mooneys, or bonanzas.

I think you're better off sticking to that story than making inaccurate accusations.

All I said was look outside when your flying.

PS. It's Alex's birthday tomorrow. We are going climbing.

I'm gonna go take another shot of Jeremiah Weed.

I have no doubt they are regular old Chuck Yeagers. I'm talking more about the CAPS and the F-22 avionics being attractive to people who would rather deploy a parachute than navigate or rather watch a blip on a TV screen than look outside.

I hear you. Don't really agree with the Chuck Yeagers comment though.

Next week I have the pleasure of sharing a ferry (if that's the right word) flight of a friend's 1940's era Stearman from Kentucky to Florida for the winter. It's full of the latest bells and whistles but I am a low time pilot and intend to have a sectional on my lap to compare with what I am seeing on the ground, just for practice.

Disregard my rude comments, I mean no offense. Been a long week, my fault.
Stearmans are awesome. I only have an hour or so in one. You won't ever forget that. (be sure to bring a white scarf)

Need someone to keep it taken care of in FL?

I remember that midair, and I'm very sorry about your friend's death. All of us here understand.

I wish more pilots looked out the window too.

The Chinese culture is one of great foresight and willingness to wait generation if not hundreds of years to achieve their desired outcomes.

This is but one more small investment in that endeavor.
