Flying Bagel and 411A (how does this guy find the time to fly when he made 7000 posts I'll never know):
Both of you are the type of crop duster pilots that we are all glad to see the back of. I hate to break this to you, but aviation has changes since the 1950's Dakotas and Constellations. Accent is now on safety, regulation, CRM. Its not just about you and your airplane, its about the safety of your passengers foremost.
"From what I gather, TIP is not half as bad as some places I fly into. Third world countries are just that, third world."
If you have been reading my posts you’d know that I wasn’t referring to TIP singularly. I am saying ALL major international airports of the world have to be audited,rated, monitored. If you want to fly into some death trap do it on your own, don’t take passengers with you.
