Hmmm. Interesting rant. I never suggested the thread was beneath me. You suggested I should stop posting if I didn't go where you wanted it to go...and you never went there...too busy defensively crying in your suds to have a real conversation, apparently. Shoot, I'd have been thrilled if you'd even addressed the topic, but you're still too bitter to do that...you'd rather talk about me. Allllriiighty, then!
I think I'm intellectually superior because I discussed facts and didn't deviate from them? You must be really intimidated by the evening news. Thems some scary stuff. What with all that talk about what really happened, and all.
I think I have some insight into what you've flown in your career? How on earth did you come to that conclusion, and where in the conversation did that ever come up? I don't care what you've flown in your career.
You managed to keep yourself alive for thirty years and sixteen thousand hours. That's good. Keep doing that. Whatever you're doing, keep doing that. You say you did it without my superior knowledge. Well, that's kind of you to say but (sit down for this, it's going to come as a shock) I never said otherwise.
And I intend, God willing, to keep flying for the next 20 years.
That's very commendable. So long as you never have more than a marker beacon go out on your airplane, you'll probably be very successful. I sincerely hope you are. But that's really not related to the topic of this thread, either. Is it?
After all, (and I keep trying to bring this back on topic by actually addressing the thread topic which you chose, incidentally...see the trend?) we are talking about a young man that flew into a hill side while tracking the wrong VOR at the wrong DME. The thrust of your question was an increadulous disbelief at the decaying state of the airplane in which nothing worked (does
anything work(?), you ask), an airplane which you identified as a "piece of junk." That was what you wanted to talk about. So how about it? Are you going to speculate for us, or not?
