don't think that light plane flying isn't a good background for other flying.
I've flown with guys who flew C141's for the USAF and they weren't as good as guys who came up the hard way via a cherokee and up from there.
in a light plane, you appreciate the sky's power and your own stupidity.
in a big plane, you think you are KING SH&*T.
there are good c141 pilots and bad....good cherokee pilots and bad
