actually, doctors dont have the worst record for terminal aviation events, no specific group does except those that fly visual into instrument conditions, That is the biggest killer and its usually a mountain thats hit, not a house.. The "30year old aircraft______" is quite regularly inspected, and taken apart, at least yearly if used for pleasure,NOT FOR HIRE, its probably got better maintainance than most wheeled vehicles on the road[except us rennlisters]. General avaiation is a wonderful thing in america. you can get a great airplane for 25-30K, and go damn near anywhere. a flightacross this land of ours at 3-5000 ft from coast to coast is one wonderful amazing thing, cant do it anywhere else with such freedom.

Sorry Doc Schiff, my idea is to be a little higher than 3 - 5 kft altitude cruisin' x-country. Way too many bumps from the thermals, specially in the summer. I'm kind of a 12 kft to FL20 guy myself. Of course that's a whole different class of aircraft and a IFR rating, but I got spoiled doing this in the AF for 11 years. ;-)
