No accidents, no incidents - since 95%+ of my flying is over open oceans in a single (yup, hundreds of miles from helicopter SAR) I do expect to go for a very long swim one day. All the sky gods who are so proud of themselves for making it across the Channel to Le Touquet were not properly trained - the risk has nothing to do with the distance, one can get very dead within the airport matey.
I think it his all about the training, that is my opinion - an opinion I backed up with some real live examples.
Some people do not get properly trained (thinking you may be one) - go a few months without flying and never get it back - personally I think the training I received at NS was excellent, the airspace is downright scary by the home airport, flying in it from day one means nothing is daunting.
I didn't mean to insult you, I've no reason to do so. What I meant is that apparently you are fearless and I don't think training can teach you that. I hear even from professional pilots that have been out from the game for a couple of months, they feel they are behind the plane at some stages of flight. if you can jump in and go just like that with a 3 year gap, fair play to you, I wouldn't be capable of doing that and I wouldn't blame my training for it.
