No sh!t

And why is it that wealthier people seem to assume that seeing as they are competent at earning money, then they are competent at everything else?

It's one thing to read about an incident after the fact but something different altogether to see it happen, or just about to.

Every student should watch this video as a lesson to what hot dogging and recklessness can do.

It's one thing to be an idiot solo, but pilots need to remember that people live and die by their decisions.

I saw what "flying through trees" can do on a Caravan. Not naming companies or names, but a lot of us know who it was. The leading edge on one wing was beaten back to the spar. Several branches were lodged in the engine nacelle. Cessna should have used it for an ad. They should not have been able to fly it home. Ground bad. Sky good.

This is disgusting. He almost wiped himself out and 3-5 of his buddies. I hope his license gets burnt in a fire and pissed on.

I have no patience for this.

Easy now. Guys write themselves off every year, pushing weather. It would have been just one more. Another CFIT crash. Nothing special. Except, if they'd all been killed, folks here would demand that you show "respect" till all the "facts" are in. So, how 'bout some respect for this poor brain dead twit?

Thanks for making me smile, Doc. Long day in the skies today, and for some reason all the idiots seemed to come out of the woodwork.

I'd have no problem with him flying like this if he was by himself ;)

In fact, I'd pay for his gas.

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.

Yeah thanks for that, IIRC I was a bit confused because as the discussion carried on, I was no longer sure if we were discussing going controlled into IMC as an IFR pilot (which is what I was referring to) or inadvertantly going into IMC.
