Sound and profound thoughts indeed and an excellent identification of one of the major problems confronting both aviation safety and modern aviation recruitment practice. I refer of course to the stud pilots and those kids with so few hours both of whom fly turbines on their way to the starry heights of what passes these days, amongst those who know no better, for pure jet propulsion.
Old boys are gentle with power systems if only because their hands are gnarled and weakened from years of raising laden glasses and engaging reverse thrust whenever encountering challenging landing considerations in or out of the boudoir.
Young whopper snippers should all be banned by international regulations from going near anything other than a normally aspirated engine until they have at least a certain minimum of flight experience, say two thousand hours as a conservative estimate? Aircraft engine manufacturers should insist upon this anti-abuse proviso as part of any propulsion supply contract to aircraft manufacturers.
Altogether an excellent and heart rending evocation but one which, one fears, will fall wide of the wax filled ears of the youthful aviator of today.
That would though keep the wyenas and the hild dogs of the skies at bay!
