*OT* Doug, sounds like you're a pilot. I'm VFR only. I had a handful of hours on instruments, but my flight school moved from Rochester airport to a smaller field farther from where I live. I wasn't motivated enough to drive the extra distance or to look for a new instructor. One of these days, maybe. When I start flying again, an instrument rating will be a must. VFR flying is a lot of fun, but for safety I should have the IFR training.

As for JFK, I imagine it's not easy to pull out of a spin with a cast on your foot -- assuming he even had the time to react. A real tragedy, especially for the two people who had to rely on his judgment as the pilot. Everything was stacked against him. He shouldn't have made the flight under those circumstances. (I suppose that's too easy to say in hindsight. My sister went to school with the guy, and she and her friends say he was one of the nicest people around.)

Congratulations on your quarter. I hope you have some major profit sharing.
