REFLECTOR:Re: RG vs. Fixed

[Scott Derrick]

I agree with Rob,  this sounds more like sour grapes or justification of 
something your not that sure of.

I personally know of quite a few high time pilots that are near retiring 
their wings with nary a gear up landing.

Do your check lists, keep the gear system in good shape and it will stay 
the rare event that it is.
