NEVER SAY NEVER!

It almost goes without saying that whatever your experience level........ NO ONE IS IMMUNE expert flier or not!

Once an Air Force flying safety officer it was not too uncommon to see excellent pilots have incidents, or even loose their lives.

Common issues-

Not being attentive
Rushing to get airborne
Skipping a good preflight
Getting too brave

The list is endless!

COMPLACENCY is probably the greatest enemy! We often get too lazy to perform the proper checks to make sure our airframe is safe. The same remains true of this hobby as full scale, except here the pilot gets to walk-up the carnage after the crash, then gets to go home.
