Father Abraham said my recent statements were
so ridiculous as to not be worth commenting on
and I had
absolutely no understanding of fix wing aviation, and you are certainly not an individual who has any practical aviation experience
Funny...I've been flying 30 years, pic in 30+ types in power fw, sailplanes, helicopters, in 3 separate countries and even owned one or two aircraft of each type over my time and won't ever finish learning. Occasionally I meet people who have.
I have noted that more often than not people flying in one discipline have low opinions of people in the others. Sad - we have a passion in common and could learn from each other.
I recall a lecture one year at Oshkosh, Budd Davison said he once flight checked a pilot and wanted to ask "is your 10000 hours the same hour repeated ten thousand times?". In my words - you really can't know all about flying if you haven't had really varied flying experience?
OOW
