RE: An Incident with Lessons for All of Us
If the incident took place between two R/C pilots, one could refer to them as R/C pilot #1 and R/C pilot #2. They could decide who would be R/C pilot #2.
If it was an R/C pilot and a model boater, what would you call the boater. Is he piloting his boat?
I think to much is made about what individuals are and are not.
I know I'm a pilot. I worked hard at getting my five ratings and worked hard for Island Air Tours. My general aviation years were an adventure to say the least.
Sure, guys like me couldn't care less if I'm called an R/C pilot or not. I know the difference. Am I an R/C pilot? I already answered that.
I'm also a CL pilot.
I'm not a boat pilot. [sm=bananahead.gif]
