Colonels right there will be no new causes of aircraft accidents.

This is so full of win...

$10 says he gets his licenses anyway and becomes a flight instructor.

[Colonel]

WTF?!

[David MacRay]

Am I the only one that imagines an influencer narrating that.

I was not rudder pedal current and quickly found out going solo in a 172 was not a good idea that day.

This happened in Toronto, surprising absolutely no one.

The good news is that they had all their paper, which in
Canada and India is all that counts:

Having your paperwork in order in India isn't needed though:
Indian pilots.

I wonder what general aviation is like in India. Can a guy rent a 172 for cheap?

You can hear some tires squealing and what sounds like a pretty decent shimmy. I’m wondering if there is a mechanical aspect to this.

[Colonel]

if there is a mechanical aspect

Quite correct. I am certain that if no one had given him
an airplane, he wouldn't have crashed it

India. Can a guy rent a 172 for cheap?

Pretty expensive, I think. It's 1000 rupees for an hour on
the 172 but fortunately you can get an ATP for 100 rupees.

I'm doing a pretty thorough walk around on any plane they're renting for just under $18/hour. Maybe a walk away is a better idea.
