Yikes! I bet! My sister and daughter were in an air race once and I was watching them take off when the cowling flew open and they fortunately were able to abort the takeoff!

except when the pilot came out of the cockpit and played checkers with the stewardess!

LOL! It would be worse if both pilots came out and started playing! LOL

LOL....I am not even sure they had two pilots! Honestly, they are good pilots! But I sure don't like watching all the rivets bouncing around and the inside panels looked like they were ready to fall off!

I have flown Tiger's. I hated the no nose wheel steering :-)

Bonanza's are cool planes. I am thinking of buying an Aztec. :-)

Very! When my sister went down to Oaxaca on a commercial flight the pilot took a jog offcourse so the passengers could see the volcano better. She said she was impressed how he handled the plane, but she was surprised by what he did.

Another air race they were flying from LA to Bend, Oregon and the engine failed over Grant's Pass. They had to rent a car to go to Bend and back home. She fired her mechanic after that happened.

A friend who worked for Ammaco flew Aeroflot often...
On a return trip to the U.S...the Tupelov 144 put down in Cuba suddenly..with no prior warning.
The Russian pilots were freaked out about something with the plane...walking away..they refused to fly
Leaving everyone stranded in Cuba.
