Vin,

You hit the nail on the head. I have been there too, I lost my Phantom last fall, and have dorked up a couple of others on landings, or whatever. It happens to all of us sooner or later. Everyone has to know their limitations. The only way to really know your limitations is to exceed them once or twice. Sometimes that also serves to raise the bar a notch or two.

Sorry Ron but what I read into your post was this....."If you get nervous don't fly jets" and that is not the way I see it. If you don't get nervous flying these airplanes .......well you ain't pushing the envelope.

Brian keep it up....the old wide world of sports saying comes to mind.......The Thrill of Victory and the Agony of defeat!
