Dead Thread - 2020

Kobe revisited: death by ego.

You know all those he-man heroes in all the movies we've been watching the last 70 years who always "find a way" even when it's "against the odds" or "defying danger"?

Well, they're all morons and it's bullsh-t that kills people.

Alaska is littered with the bodies of pilots who have failed to learn those lessons.

My neighbor on our lake property flew up there a few times without a lot of experience and has some tales to tell. He should have died in the mountains, and he knows it.

Yes, the lethal ego in this case was the pilot's. Once Kobe sat down in the passenger seat he was ballast with zero input.

We prefer to refer to the passengers we fly as cargo, not ballast.

I actually quit flying because I didn't think I was good enough, and I'd never want an at-fault crash that hurt someone else on my record. I knew I would never fly enough to be really proficient.
