I may have said this here years ago. My father who was in airline maintenance management most of his working life suggested that I stay out of experimental aircraft. I haven't even been in any aircraft in over 45 years.

He also said that he new more than a couple commercial pilots with lotsa hours in big birds who, with their wives, died in light aircraft on a weekend due, probably, to unfamiliarity with the aircraft. Of course these weren't even experimental aircraft but they were in effect experimenting with them.


Oh, I don't think I ever posted this; when my father was a an aircraft mechanic -"tech" now, I suppose , he replaced a generator in General Doolittle's plane when he flew in.
I guess that makes me one degree of separation from General Doolittle!
