Beech Bonanza VIDEO - this will shock you . . .

[robbreid]

This was just posted two days ago on YouTube, I'm sure FAA are probably trying
to ID the aircraft and pilot if their not already aware.

Thinking the gene pool needs some thinning?

Paging Mr. Darwin. Mr. Darwin to the airport, please.

I'm going to have to check the Darwin awards page to see if there's a category; "their stupidty was only exceeded by their incredible good luck."

This brings me back to that long discussion we had a while ago with Randleman about the dangers of flying in IMC for the ill equipped or ill prepared. A shining example if ever there was one.

OK, I just gotta post again.

Now isn't there a point, sometimes when you fly where you say, "Aw, well, aw @#$!! No, I can't do this. Damn." And back to the airport you go.

Like you see them big cloud's a comin'? Like when you hear the radio say the rain is pretty hard over there? Like when you go flying VFR through the mountains IN CLOUD?

What was the pilot friggin thinking?!?!?

OK, now I'm done.

If he'd written it off, the tort lawyers would have been all over Beech, Garmin and Continental like flies on a pile of shit. That's how it works. Nobody is responsible for their own idiocies, someone else is.

This is just the tip of yet another iceberg. There's more people out there who have not yet learned this lesson. Some of them will not get away with a dinged wingtip.

The level of technology staring him in the face still couldn't keep him from being stupid. On the brighter side, what an incredible teaching aid this video will become! Scare em' straight.

I've rewritten my comments four times now. What can you say?

Exactly what I was thinking as I watched! That's why we don't go inadvertant IFR (or unprepared). His luck bucket just got a whole lot lighter (and I'm thinking his experience bucket didn't get much heavier)!

By the looks of it more money than brains

He's an idiot for two reasons, one for doing what he did, second for posting it on youtube. I do hope the FAA finds him and pulls his license.

Hedley,

You must be reading a different thread from me because I don't read about anyone who is concerned about paperwork....perhaps your were being sarcastic and I missed it?

????

[ilovelamp]

Fascinating. These idiots almost died, and all
the people here care about is paperwork.

Fascinating.

Im not sure what you mean by that comment.

I'm glad you remembered that and brought it up.

For some clarity. The guy who posted the video says they didnt know the pilot, they were just along for the ride to film their buddy in the L39. Click on the name of the guy who posted the video. There are 4 responses from him. According to him, the FAA is involved. I sure hope to christ that pilot was scared straight.

If that's the case the pilot should have been layed out on his back with a few busted out teeth when they got back on the ground
