What are the 3 most dangerous things known to man
A doctor in a bonanza
An Arab in an F-15
A flight attendant with a chipped tooth!

My friend (who has 2 dr. parents) calls all light

twins Dr Killers.  it's the combination of only flying

once a month (because of workload) in a plane that

requires immediate corrective action on engine failure.

toss in something like IFR or high density altitude

mtn airstrips or loading to gross and you've got a

recipe for disaster. 

In the airlines, you're sitting in a sim every few weeks training

for that blue line engine failure your entire life.  Probably

1 in 100 doctors is doing that.  They'd be better finding flight

instructors trying to build twin time to fly for them (another friend

owned a twin and did just that--he had pretty much a free personal

pilot and free gas every time he went up)
