My friend Jeff Bowman explained it best, When we talk to the non aviators, it is "We are the sky Gods", when we talk to each other it's "I am the sky God". 30 years on, it's still true, 30 more, it still will be.

Nick -
You put a "Do Not Archive" on this post - yet I think it SHOULD be archived, so we can search it out and re-post it when the air gets heated on-line.
One thing (among many) that I have always appreciated about John H's posts is that he makes it very clear that he is not giving advice, not saying "do as I do" - just saying, "this is my experience and my preference."
It's astounding to me how much heat is generated when pilots do things differently. Your post is a wonderful summation of why we should continue to learn from each other - and from all our differences.

Gentlemen, Lets all take a deep breath and relax a little....ladies your doing fine!
Since I do not have a single hour in a Kolb of any type, please allow me to share an insight with you all. I have learned a lot about Kolb’s from this on line “family” of sorts. I am grateful to you all.
Like all families you do not all agree on everything, and sometimes on nothing! You all fly similar, but different planes. You all fly in very different places. You all have different amounts of time in your Kolb, and other aircraft, so all of your judgments are shaped by your experiences, which are all different.
If I was John H probably would not have VG’s on my plane. If I had the hour in my plane that John does there would not be a whole lot of point to having VG’s .
If I ever get this pile of parts to look like an airplane, I will have VG’s. Thirty years from now I might have as much time in the air as John, but I doubt it. I then would probable recommend VG to everyone because that is what I would know.
I am flown, at work, by a group of high time Alaskan Super Cub pilots some with VG’s and some without. No two cubs are the same, BUT they all perform beautifully in the hands of their pilots.
So the long and the short of this dribble is that none of you are right, and none of you are wrong!!!!!!! You all just see the world through the filter of your experience!
Please Keep teaching…I have a lot more to learn for you all!
Sincerely,
Nick Cassara
