Dave is a jet Instructor Trainer, and also trains US Military test pilots on how to fly, among other things, MiG's. As for the rest of this stupid thread, well, my attitude is "if you can't change the world, change yourself". Not that I'm defending George in any way, it's just that I've found it stupid, pointless, and completely unproductive to get involved in this type of argument. Rather than blather back and forth, take action: everybody, swear to yourself: "I'm going to post something with substance, or I'm not posting at all". And while you're at it, swear to yourself that you won't respond to posts that don't contain substance. This should be put in the new member sign-up welcome email. -Will > > We screen > >our pilots for the exact traits that are exhibited here in bulk, and we > >-eliminate- those people from the program.......
