I guess I could state once more that there are many old pilots and many bold pilots but very few old and bold pilots.
I am human as is everyone else here. We all make mistakes. Those of us who are lucky get to learn a lesson and our friends are not hurt. Others are not so lucky.
I have had some accidents which were CAUSED by errors I made, they did not just "happen".
Steel tracks on a steel deck nearly cost a friend his life during load up. I had experienced the same a few years before and offered snow mobile tracks for grip. . . . .
Sadly, those of us who have grey hair are not always listened to by others.
That child driving the APC is negligence, period.
Should not have happened.
