    if I derive any masochistic pleasure from the reports ............................. I'll go to the confessional otherwise I'll treat them as .............................. useful information (as best as can be had)

    I think the data is very useful - you can search type of plane - engine etc Of course as said it is arecord of reported instances - how many others are happening and not being reported ? ............ my guess would be probably about the same again I'd like to see in the data age and hours toal for pilot (poliitical party and race probably not relevant) Pilot age and total hours could be good data

    more Capt Wally .................... ! .............. Your not hated. I think you have an interested following ......... you certainly shoot straight from the hip i guess what you described you find in all jobs - mind you they say some pilots can be particularly egotistical beasts. - what was it like under the expert eye of some captains when you were 1st officer - what were you like as capt to your 1st officers - what was the worst flying experience you had with a senior pilot - what was the worst flying experience you had with a junior pilot - did you ever smoke a joint while up there high - did you ever down a scotch while up there high - did the cabin crew have a better job than pilots - did refuellers have a better job than pilots - did you change airlines much - or once employed you had to stick to it - how many hours and years did you clock up - was there any commercial flying that you did find enjoyable - have you thought of returning to some sort of paid flying - like instructor .......... shan't ask again

    agreed DGL Fox .................... its a fantastic opportunity to get in the record books - and the longer an older person delays the record attempt - the more chance they have of having their names as the record holder for the longer period (just don't leave it to long though)

    Some of the C182*s (maybe the older ones) ................... seem to have a banshee whistle to them - which i think is more pronounced than the engine noise - from the ground when they fly past Might be the wing stuts
