In the 70’s you’d see people driving along eating a bowl of cereal.

Better for a 97 year old to pilot a small private plane than drive a car. In case of a crash he would likely only kill himself.

Any landing you can dog-trot away from is a good one.

In my small town I love to register my dog early—his current license is #24. Maybe I can bribe someone in town hall to make him #1. ;-)

There are better ways to leave this mortal coil than stupidly crashing a plane with your dog that could have caused death and destruction on the ground

Yeah, but this could have worked out badly or deadly for others. No?

It was a poor choice with a poor and sad outcome.

They are just guessing that the dog had anything to do with the crash, when it’s much more likely the 90 year old pilot was 100% responsible.

I’m thinking of going for this license. Between age and medical issues it would probably be the only kind of license I could get.

I’ve taken lessons back 45-50 years ago but never got a license.
