Re: John Denver
I think I correct reasonably fast, judging from how I've handled driving emergencies (e.g. complete engine/electrical failures in the dark, stuff that falls off a truck ahead); but at this point I'm old enough not to trust my body completely. For example, I used to hit about 50% of my outside shots in basketball, just shooting around. Now it's about 15-20% on a good day. Partly it's practice, but mostly it's arthritis in my hands. My fine motor control sucks. My vision is pretty good (actually getting better in some ways), but i don't trust it as much as I once did. Hearing, either. And now passing 55, the likelihood that I'll have a heart attack or a stroke in the cockpit is farther and farther from zero. So these days I'd rather ride with a good pilot than train to become an adequate one.
