I reckon I'm the only one here that's getting a late start on old Audie.
When his plane crashed into the side of the mountain and he and the other 4 passengers died, his pilot didn't have an instrument rating. To me that's just plain dumb.
I remember hearing that pasty Cline and Cowboy Copas's pilot didn't either; nor Buddy Holly's pilot.
Or JFK Jr. for that matter.
So, yeah, check your pilot's creds, and if he's not rated, tell him, I ain't agoin'.
