This should be in the non-music section, I think.

July 4 is as good as any other day, IMO.

However, if the pilot looks like he/she had a few hits of acid before the flight I would have second thoughts.

Is it a worry?
Well July 4th doesn't worry me. Flying, on the other hand, yeah that does worry me, and crashing even more.

Guest is taking a plane?
I reckon it would be safer the other way around.

"I reckon it would be safer the other way around."

Most planes won't fly backwards.

Flying doesn't bother me. Coming down doesn't bother me. Coming down really really hard and fast does bother me.

Depends where and what you are flying.

I wouldn't recommend buzzing the White House in a Mig.

Well, in a Fulcrum or a Foxhound (29 and 31 respectively), ya might be able to get outta Dodge.

No problem as long as the pilot understands that those colorful explosions are fireworks, not anti-aircraft fire.
