  1. “never wear shorts” is kind of hilarious – the average temperature on a plane is about 115 degrees. I’ll accept whatever germs can go from a cloth seat to the back of my legs as a tradeoff for not catching fire.

  2. Most states own some sort of aircraft for the governor. South Dakota is a pretty big place based on my many drives across it. The Kingair is one of the safest private planes out there. I remember Mel Carnahan in Missouri getting killed in a twin-engine Cessna which is also noted as a safe plane. I bet if you research you will find many politicians that have died in plane crashes over the past 100 years.

  3. The day I worry about some unseen germs on the back of my lower legs is the day the germs have won.
