Your safety work on the weekly mishap report is excellent. It gives us all a moment to think and hopefully analyze our own techniques so that we don't repeat the mistakes and become a statistic ourselves.

I get your weekly summary via the musketeermail net. I'm a retired airline captain with over 35,000 hours, now flying a simple Sundowner. I REALLY like your summary 'piston reports' and 'lessons learned'. Thanks!

Your FLYING LESSONS comments and weekly accident updates are much appreciated and well received by my two flying sons and me. I know you might say you're just doing your job, but you're doing your job very, very well.
