Thread Name: Don McLean question
Subject: RE: Don McLean question
The plane is also known as a Doctor Killer by some plane pilots because it was fast, affordable by some(Doctor's and Lawyers), sexy looking, and it wasn't forgiving.

Hmmm, never heard it given that title before and I used to be a part-owner of a V-tail Bonanza. Certainly, it is fast enough for an inexperienced pilot to get into trouble with, just as an inexperienced driver can in a high powered car.
