As any good pilot and/or aircraft builder will tell you…..it is way better being down here and wishing you were up there than up there wishing you were down here.
As a pilot who has built/assembled aircraft, I can tell you that I have never met another pilot/builder that is not extremely maticulous and safety conscious. After all….it’s gonna be your butt in the seat!
