It is all very well having a big red button to turn the thing into an aeroplane but then the airlines would have to pay to train their pilots to fly. I said 20 years ago that every airline should own a Pitts and am more certain than ever of that.
As a retired FE I am appalled at the lowering of standards in the industry. Hurtling through the upper atmosphere is inherently dangerous and how complacent everybody has become.
