Jeff - the safer pilot is the one who can learn from the mistakes of
others.  Can take the lessons offered and convert them to a positive
change in behavior.  And Hopefully can reduce the likelihood of making a
similar mistake themselves through enhanced technique.

Hence, the reason for repetitive, comprehensive pilot training.  See you
this September.

Which is the safer pilot, the one who learns from his mistake or
the one who has not yet made the mistake?  I too would choose the former
been there - done that - won't do it again pilot.

How about the one who learns from the mistake of others? Not a whole lot
of that here. Most would rather learn from their own mistakes.
Experience is a tough teacher. She gives the test first and the lesson
afterward.  Too bad the ground isn't made of NERF material. Jeff
