Kinda reminds me of Brian Dennehy hanging out the side of a Beaver trying to get the engine running while his passenger is freaking out trying to steer the plane. As the Beaver rolls over to the pilot's side, Brian finally starts feeling the gravity of his situation, and only then starts instructing the passenger to correct the roll.

Now what was that movie again?

Was it "Never Cry Wolf?"

"I wish I could be like Susan and never make a dumb decision I wished later I hadn't done."

I'm 59 years old, have traveled over half the country by myself, and tend to recognize wholesale stupidity when I see it. I also have ADD and have the general attention span of a gnat, which makes some things more difficult. But I'm still alive, and the only time I've spent in a hospital was beyond my control.

When someone reads about a dimwit like the one in the posted article, who nearly killed himself and his friends, who only wants to pat him on his little pointy head and wish him well, it makes me wonder.

And no, I'm sure he didn't learn anything from it. He will do something just as stupid, probably someday soon. Again. Of course, he may kill someone next time, and maybe that will turn on his tiny little light bulb. Maybe.

He may be smart in business, but he is a stupid, or at least, careless pilot.

Wait. A careless pilot is a stupid pilot. Or is that a dead pilot?

"There are old pilots, there are bold pilots, there are very few old and bold pilots." Seems like I remember an old pilot telling me that.
