If you're going to die in your plane there are worse ways ... Art Scholl once started to roll his Pitts at low altitude while travelling from one point to another on his busy aerobatic display shedule. The problem was that he was at such a high altitude, even if the was just a few hundred feet off the ground that the plane didn't make it - no Pitts ever will, so he crashed into the ground with an almighty bang - luckily there was no fire. People nearby rushed to help him out of the smouldering wreck, but they hesitated for a while as they heard the terrible curses emitting from the wreckage: 'You idiot, you moron, why did you suddenly forget all about density altitude? Why, why, why? You weren't 600 ft above sea level, you were over 6,000 ft over sea level!' He didn't break anything that day, except his pride, his means of income, and his reputation as an infalliable pilot. Maybe the French Connection had a similar mental lapse? We'll never know ...
