Default RE: South Central Basic Bootcamp

In 6 years of flying IMAC I have only seen one mid-air and I was calling for the Advanced pilot that got run in to. It was a basic pilot that came out of the eastern sun and none of us while the Advanced pilot was coming from the west could see the basic pilot's plane until it was too late.

You would be absolutely amazed how hard it is to actually try and hit another plane - the sky is huge and the odds are in your favor!! I do understand how you feel though because it took me a couple of seasons to get used to another plane in the air. Shoot, I still won't fly my IMAC plane at a normal fly-in because, even though I know where I'm going to be, the other pilots (up to 5 others sometimes) don't have a clue or plan where they are going or what they are going to do next and they are the ones that can run into you!!

More bothersome and worrisome to me was actually the fact that highly experienced judges are watching and judging my every move!! That is what really takes getting used too!!! Just ask Eddie!!


See you in Mt. Pleasant.
