Default Amazing pilot!

So this weekend I was honored to see one of the greatest pilots ever to grace this earth... Sean D. Tucker. I grew up near Oshkosh, so I was able to see this man every year of my childhood. After seeing him perform and speak this weekend at an airshow, he said something that will stick with me for a long time..."never fly with someone who thinks they know everything...that's when you get yourself in danger."

That phrase stuck me...WoW. It's OK to think of yourself as amazing for being a pilot (since there is a lot of skill and sacrifice involved)...but stop, think, and stick yourself in a book every once in a while. Don't be afraid to keep learning.

NEVER STOP LEARNING ABOUT AVIATION and refining your knowledge about what we do.

"never fly with someone who thinks they know everything...that's when you get yourself in danger."

Great statement. And even more so when you realize it applies to everyone you will ever meet.

I agreed, Ive fallen on that macho attitude a few times in the past, and Ive been lucky. Great Statement to live by.
