“As a young person involved in aviation, there is nothing more dangerous than old geezers piloting aircraft. These assholes are a danger to everyone around them.”

I would much rather fly with an old, seasoned geezer than with some young, arrogant, overconfident stud.

Words spoken by someone who doesn’t fly. The most cocky, arrogant people I know are older pilots with 12k hours. Complacent. Cocky.

But let’s be real... you don’t fly, much less hardly ever leave the house.

Kirby said the breathalyzer showed no alcohol in his system. But because he suffers nerve damage in his BRAIN.

Because normal people don’t say the things he said.

If he had opposed Hillary his death would be suspect. I wonder if any liberal has suspected Trump/Mafia hit squad is operating to silence anyone who rejects Trump? Maybe that might silence some Democrats?

What might we learn in a study of aviation fatalities based on age?

You’d lean a lot about retirees crashing their Cessna 172’s.

“Suicide by drop?”

That would be some pretty fancy crashing, killing yourself while the person sitting next to you only gets “minor injuries”.

“Hey bud, pardon me while I kill myself, but don’t worry, you’ll be fine.”

“generally speaking, older pilots with low total and recent flight time tended to fare worse than their younger counterparts of similar experience, while older pilots with high total and recent flight time did as well or better.” [page 10]

Thank you for making my point.

Let’s do this... let’s go to the local FBO and make the claim that old pilots are safer than young pilots and watch you get laughed off the ramp.

Response times and short window critical thinking finish significantly with age. Deal with it.

Another thing, I’m 41. I didn’t start doing this last week. Keep defending pilots over 65 as generally ‘safe’. A position only a biased person over 65 would hold.

Do you either of you even fly?

Mooneys were affectionately referred to as doctor killers for the reason you suggest.

Non-currency kills all too frequently as well. This is especially true in low time pilots.

The aircraft wreck was almost unrecognizable.

I’m surprised a passenger survived.

There are some rather stout tree trunks in the image.

Too few details to really say what happened and why.
