1) Glad the pilot escaped and will live to fly another day
2) GB you are dating yourself with the Grandpa Pettibone reference (fon non NAVAIR types, G.P. was the name by the Navy's Safety Center in its Safety magazines, back in the day.)
3) the CPSC was right, it is NOT safe to play with Lawn Darts.
