My buddy is an old pilot, so I guess that means he's not a bold one?  It's amateurs with low hours who get into most of the trouble.
He & I discussed the flying death of JFK Jr. and his wife. Very much the case of pilot error...a non instrument rated pilot not trusting instruments, and spiraling into the sea. John-John should not have been flying in darkness with no visible horizon. He had no idea how to handle those conditions.
I'd be nervous about flying with someone with only a visual ticket and not many hours. I'd be nervous about flying with my buddy because I know he'd like to make me barf...
