Guns Don't Kill People, Old Men in Bonanzas Do

With this as my evidence:



Sorry Scott, but it's true. It's more truthy than any sort of facts or statistics that the NTSB database will ever give you. The problem isn't necessarily with the aircraft itself. Nor is it with the age of the pilot alone. For some reason, putting an old man (especially a Doctor) inside that aircraft is like tossing a giant brick of potassium into a bowl of water. The Bonanza itself is a fine aircraft, and it's production run is a testament to that. However, add in an old man, and the tails start ripping off like a Superbowl Halftime outfit (A few years too late for that joke? I think not.). Conversely, the geriatric are not necessarily bad pilots in any other kind of aircraft. According to some research I just made up, at least 100% of all crashes involving Bonanzas were piloted by a senior citizen. That figure is quite remarkable in itself, but it nearly doubles when that AARP card holder holds a Doctorate in something. Coincidence? I think not. The Old Man Bonanza Club (OMBC) is truly an organization more deadly than the Hell's Angels, Crips, Bloods, and PETA combined. I strongly urge everybody who is as concerned with this aerial menace to society as I am to contact their local congressman.
