Plane Crash

[nemelek]

Some idle thoughts about the recent plane crash.

The pilot was US Air Force Academy Trained. The best pilot training in the world. In panic and crises situations nothing replaces experience. The ability to respond to the circumstances instead of react made the difference between life and death. He walked the plane make sure no one left on board before he got off when he could have been one of the first people off. Although people are calling him a hero, I am sure he would be the last to admit it. He will probably say that he was just doing his job. The next time I get on a plane and see an elderly pilot, I’ll know that I am in good hands.

On a much smaller magnitude I appreciate the elder statesmen (Bob, Gene, Loren to name a few) whose years of car experience add value to this forum.
