The dog survived the crash.

More.

Whew, that was my first question !

[RitchieAprile]

isn’t 90 a bit long in the tooth for a pilot license?

[crusty old prospector]

What a maroon.

[Innovative]

Don’t let the dog near the controls or near the pilot.

Put him and tie him in the back of the plane.

[Yo-Yo]

90 is a good, long life, and he died doing what he loved, and apparently doing it with the pet he loved.

There are worse ways to leave this mortal coil.

[Red Badger]

Did he have a license?...................

[Responsibility2nd]

That’s what the dog was thinking.

“I’d be better off landing this plane than Great Grandpa here.”

And he was right.

Speaking of maroons, saw this lady in a mini van driving down US 1 in FL with the window half open, dog face out the window. Dog jumped out, lady went berserk trying to stop traffic.

My first thought was what a maroon...

Thank goodness the dog survived.

Sure, blame it on the dog and not the 90 year old dude.

[Menehune56]

Not an uncommon sight on the road, often talking on the phone too.

[Flash Bazbeaux]

He had a fruitbat license for his pet fruitbat Eric.

[Fido969]

I wonder if the pilot was dyslectic...

[Responsibility2nd]

Did he have a license?...................

 

Why yes. Yes he did.

[Psalm 73]

"Put him and tie him in the back of the plane."

Or on top of the fuselage, like Mitt....

[PGR88]

You have to draw the line somewhere

I will let my dog drive, and operate the tractor, but I will never let him fly my plane.

Here in Myrtle Beach I see it all. My favorite is the person driving in rush hour traffic talking on the phone and smoking a cigarette at the same time. The other day I saw a woman reading a book during rush hour.

that 90 age struck me as being a bit too much...glad he didn't crash on a bunch of children.....

I see people with their animals on their laps while driving....why that isn't as serious as talking on your cell while driving I'll never understand...

“Dog is my Co-Pilot”

This is how dyslexics die.
