I think avbug is worth his weight in dung.avbug said:90% of the pilots out there aren't worth their weight in dung.
I recall a day in a well-known, highly congested, Air Force pilot training pattern where my eyes...yes my eyes...detected an ag guy busting right through the pattern about 100 feet below my altitude. I made a simple evasive move and "saved the day" by letting the others in the pattern know there was an idiot in our midst (avbug would have had me say nothing?). This was not even an area that he was spraying, just cutting through our pattern to get from point A to point B. There's a term out there that of course, the all-knowing, king-$hit avbug has probably heard and it's called LEGAL-STUPID. Just cuz it's legal, doesn't make it smart. And no, radios don't spot traffic, a good VFR scan does. It's saved my bacon a few times, but willfully going against the grain on a technicality would place the guy (or gash) at the controls in your beloved home in the 90th percentile. Sorry to see the bug hasn't gotten any sweeter with age. Probably someone with a lot to teach. Pity all that energy is selfishly wasted on condescension.
