You’ve heard of Curiosity killed the cat. But what about Curiosity killed the pilot?
Truth is, we pilots think we’re pretty cool. There’s a part of us that thinks we can basically do anything and get away with it. It’s a constant battle and struggle to keep these feelings in check.
Here are some examples of things that I am curious about, but I won’t try:
- Do a landing with 20 knot tailwind
- Land with a 40 knot crosswind (I’ve landing with about a 25-30)
- Do a barrel roll
- Do a loop
- Do an engine out procedure from altitude and drift down and land somewhere
- See how long I can go without oxygen at 18K
- Load up with a 6 pack of 50 Caliber machine guns (like in a P51) and go mow down an abandoned train or something
In flight simulator, the beauty is we can pretty much do anything and get away with it.
