Now that I am retired from the gong show that aviation has turned into I look forward to reading these discussions and watch the new age gang attempt to pick fly sh.t out of pepper.
Sometimes though I do get a cold chill in the pit of my stomach when I realize some of these people really do think that flying a simple single engine airplane becomes " complex " if the thing has flaps or a constant speed prop on it.
Is that why the " authorities " insist that pilots wear hi vis vests so the rest of society can recognize them and thus cut them some slack because of their phobias?
