It's like the stories of an unruly passenger onboard so the pilot diverts. Let's say I had some unruly person, but the passengers and crew detained that person and duct taped him to the seat, so the emergency is over. Why divert? Just fly on to where everyone needs to go and let the cops there deal with it.

Obviously some kind of medical issue on board would require landing as soon as possible. The blown tire? It's already blown, it's not going to be any more dangerous to fly to the destination vs. stop at the first available airport.

Maybe we could look at a fun scenario. Let’s say you are single and have arranged to go on a date with a chick on tender. She’s a vette owner. You’re a vette owner. You have a 427 c2 with a 4speed and she has a c8 but you can look past that.

She’s made it clear that she is going to rock your world tonight. She says she’s wild, and “likes to fk hard”
You leave home and see her from behind in a tight outfit.
Things are going just to plan.

She turns around.




Do you turn around and get back in your trusty c2 or keep going with her?

Absolutely. One would think the bars on his windows would remind him of that fact.
