Bootsy Morris has found out that
he can pilot an aircraft without
the help of a nagging Instructor.
He did it on Saturday morning
and was he surprised when he
came in for a perfect landing. We

long time before he will make an-
other as smooth as that one.
Speaking of flying, which we
usually are if we can get anyone
to listen to us, we were musing
over the safety factors involved
in airplane travel versus auto-
mobile travel. We made a trip by
automobile to Fort Worth begin-
ning on Sunday night and ending
on Tuesday afternoon. We were
on the road approximately fifteen
hours in all and that isn’t exactly
slow driving. We were meeting
cars at about the rate of one per
minute which meant that we met
about 900 cars and that is a very
conservative,estimate. We were
coming within four to six feet of
each of them. If we had collided,
it would have been at about 120
miles per hour. That’s a lot of
chances when if we had traveled
by plane we possibly wouldn’t
have even seen another plane
much less come within a thous-
and feet of it. The only thing you
have to worry about in flying is
your own plane if you are half
way cautious. It would scare you
to degth if you were to come
within 500 feet of another plane.
