Maybe time for Hans Solo to quit the Kessel runs...
Ford seems to crash or almost crash a lot.
My 80 year old neighbor in NJ finally struck a wing tip and prop strike before he quit and sold off the damaged 150 Cessna.
I had flown with him twice that year and he scared me, and I am not too easily scared. Glad it happened so close to the ground. He did not get too banged up, and had the good sense to call it quits.
I never got complacent flying, as I was still new and attention to every detail still way high. Especially learning in the air space under the EWR/JFK/LGA TCA airspace and so close to it always if not below it. The air port I was based out of was below it.
I had been right seat too many times when multi thousand hour pilots did stupid things. After a while I guess there is more room for complacency to set in? I never got that far...
