Flight training, per se, I felt was the most hazardous part of my career with lots' of takeoff and landing ops at uncontrolled airports, training maneuvers in busy 'practice' areas and little or no ATC participation unless you were performing IFR instruction. And then, you didn't file unless it was a cross country.

The big sky theory has always been a fallacy and this accident lead to the modern day ATC.

When pilots say 'lets get together' they mean at the bar, or whatever!
