They are showing the Astros parade downtown right now. Holy cow! looks like the lines at academy to get shirts and caps after game 7 Wednesday night.

You prefer a more casual look?

Don't pull a Jon Jon Kennedy up there.
Unlike that bag of wind I'm licensed to fly in those crappy conditions. What a :censored2:.

That's what all those rich idiots do. They get their pilots license, buy a plane that's got too much oomph for their skills, and run it into the drink or hit a mountain.

He trained in a Cessna 172. And got his license and bought a Piper Saratoga. Went from 175HP to 300HP. It's like going from a smart car that is built like a tank to a Lamborghini with no traction control and bald tires.

He had no business flying that.

Didn't he have less than 10 hours in his new plane?

Did you ever fly an open biplane?

I have never done that, but I would like to.

The most fun plane I've ever flown is an aerobatic plane called a Super Decathalon. It's light as hell, the wings are made of fabric, but they strapped a big ass engine on it. You can do rolls in it and some crazy stuff. We had to wear parachutes when we flew it in case something happened. I had to take a parachute course and they like train you how to pop the seat belt and get out the door in less than 5 seconds.
