Response to That's a pretty shocking thing to say.

there would be gnashing of teeth and great indignation. Still, I thought that music was ridiculously inappropriate and I'm afraid very old men dying in these things is getting a bit hard to watch. I know they own the planes and if they want to go out in a blaze of glory it's their own business. I'm not sure what law says I need to agree with it though. BTW I'm 67 and will be 68 in June so I know something about being that age. Contrary to popular belief it ain't "just a number"; your body changes. I'll bet you that you can't do the weight training I do but I know I'd never be safe flying one of those things like that. Sorry to upset you though I probably shouldn't be so outspoken. Howard Pardue was someone I admired but it was just a matter of time until what happened happened. LL So a friend says: "cheer up things could be worse; so I cheered up and sure as hell Things Got Worse!
