Come on, you could have a cup of coffee during an approach.
I'm sure you listen to top gun music on your iPod while flying your barbie jet around. Because we all know there is nothing cooler than flying a jet!
Have you EVER flown a tail dragger? Don't say anything about any airplane being hard to fly unless you have landed a Stearman in a stiff crosswind.
Oh yea, turboprops are waaaaaaayyyyy better than jets!
