yeppppp

You might not be suprised at just how many Command Instrument Rated pilots there are with IFR experimental planes doing Angel flights, many are current B767/A330 Captains, and none of the machines I am familiar with are sloppy at all.

In fact they are far more airworthy than the certified clapped out old dungers that would otherwise be deemed acceptable, but are not up to my standard for an IFR flight.

When this came out last week I had no less than 4 emails within an hour, and I reckon AF had that or more.

As for the accident, the fatal one, it was a certified VFR Cherokee, and was in my opinion flown into bad and then worse weather.....and darkness. I can think of one Lancair, and several RV's that I would rather my family were flown in.

Yepppp, I think you would be one of them. I reckon I know who you are even with a couple of posts.

Anyway I have been too busy of late. And Thursday will be 7 sectors and 1000NM of flying for me, so it is not like I need to do more.
