I stopped flying the turboprops years ago. I don’t like the way they get tossed around in turbulence, and it seems that the less experienced pilots are flying them for the carriers.

“I stopped flying the turboprops years ago.”

I am a private pilot and I agree. I had an extremely frightening experience on a Beech 19 about 9 years ago.

The pilot, who looked like he was all of 17 years old flew us right into a thunderstorm. I really though the plane would come apart.

That pretty much did it for me.
