I think Ron's candor and generosity in sharing the details of his wreck are to be commended. We can all learn from this. I'm privileged to call him my friend and have flown with him. He's good. Real good.

To cheapen this gesture by suggesting he get in contact with an instructor to learn how to fly with out instruments and remind all of us, in a rather not-so-subtle nature, that this is why our insurance is getting unaffordable is really a cheap shot. It does not help others to share either.

Offense taken, just my opinion,
