Remember His Cameo in South Park?
I never thought I'd agree with someone from T-Shirt Hell. Although it's a sad thing that poor ol' Supe died, take a look at this:
I can't get over the fuss they're making over the death of Christopher Reeve. It's like he was some kind of Saint. They talk about how tirelessly he worked to get funding for research to cure paralysis. I'm sorry, but am I the only one who notices that he might have had a little something to gain if all of this hard work paid off? The man was a human doorstop. If Christopher Reeve had fallen off his horse and bounced back up unharmed, and then decided to devote his life to curing paralysis- then I would be impressed. If Christopher Reeve became paralyzed, and then devoted his life to finding a cure for world hunger, cancer, or blindness- then I would think that this guy was pretty heroic.
Believe me, if I had an accident and my penis was turned inside out so that every time I took a piss it came out my nose, you'd better believe I'd spend some time looking for the cure for inside out penisitis. I think I would discover I had a real passion for it that I was previously unaware of.
In other news, my throat is still sore and my head is full of snot. While I'm suffering, I think I'll devote my life to finding a cure for the common cold. My search begins in my medicine cabinet.

Kennedy had NO right flying a bigger turboprop like that & with passengers...he did not even have an hour of flight time in that airframe!! He had about 300 flight hours....and alot of it was as SIC- second in comand...so he wasnt doing too much! Thats an experience level when pilots often become overconfident and are not sufficiently seasoned to recognize dangerous situations. Let me tell you if he hadnt of been JFK.jr they would have questioned his ass before leaving in that plane and with passengers!
The NTSB went over the plane and guess what? it was in perfect mechanical condition...not a thing wrong with it....so the accident was due fully to pilot error!
He thought I have the money and its so easy to fly...well he learned.
As for the little girl, I belive she was 8....I was 11 when I started flying...but with my father a USAF SR-71 & B2 bomber Pilot....the girl had to have the plane modified so she could even reach the controls!!!
She couldnt even talk to the airport tower to ask for permison to taxi and departure...her so called co pilot had to....because at one airport she came on asking just this "can we leave the airport"!!!
She was unfamiliar with directions...meaning when a airport told her to taxi on runway 3-4...and after departure to head to the west to avoid incomming traffic...se first was unsure of where that runway was...till her co pilot came in....and after take off...headed to the EAST...before a sharp manuver to the west...which was undoubtedly her dumb co pilot.....its sad she crashed...but nor her or her co pilot had any experience flying in bad weather of VFR conditions...aalyhias plane her even smaller plane was overloaded.
I do not mean to sound like an elitist bitch...but Iam 21 with over 11,000 flight hours...and over 10 type ratings....the FAA usually dosent grant the ATP (airline transport pilot licsense) till the minimum age of 23...I was granted it this september....I had to go through special testing at Boeing. Ive worked my ass off....and stupidity like kennedy and the child accident...can make rules and regulations that hinder the rest of the responsibile world of general aviation.
Flying is dangurous...but not if you are not stupid about it! But to me flying is my air to live.
I have suffered a engine failure and crash landing...and Im here today....I know what can happen and I respect that.

I like going to movies about airplanes/airports with pilots and ATCs. It's like having my own personal MST3K session.

just something about the stewardess hanging out Concordes cockpit window at supersonic speed and being perfectly fine.
