Yeah, I know, it's just that "reckless" doesn't rhyme with "old"...

My father-in-law was a test pilot and flight instructor, survived many crashes (used up more than his nine live, I think) most of which were due to unavoidable circumstances, and he died at 89.

But the sky is almost always very unforgiving, and doesn't suffer fools gladly.
