I believe the cost of that would be astronomical if proper materials are used.

:frown2:

Note the lack of a picture of an actual aircraft.

I read this as "I would think it would be much more of a non-event if my Velocity got hit" and thought you were nuts until I re-read.

The spiritual uplift a victim feels from seeing their community come together to help them out is almost as important as the actual resources. A FEMA semi does not provide the same level of emotional support. Seeing strangers come to help out of their own compassion inspires them to pay it...

I know that plane. It’s owned by Kamala’s second cousin. I’d forget about it if I were you.

An engine change, especially single to twin is certainly going to require retesting. I would imagine a wing swap would as well.

You missed the point. FEMA nor the local responder is as critical if you let volunteers do what they are volunteering to do. I’d bet you’d be shocked to see what your fellow man will do when they see a need, aren’t being threatened, or their resources wasted on useless bureaucracy.

How about don’t threaten volunteers that are helping with jail time? Doesn’t require a tax hike though.

Let’s fly an inefficient toy for the climates sake!

Makes me angry to watch that woman defend such deplorable behavior. I am seriously impressed with that reporter. Other than not noticing that the guy that was “unavailable” for interview walked in the door in the middle of the interview (couldn’t get his ass back out fast enough lol) he did not...

Fuel hoses and oil hoses could hold it on if not for the tornado of **** that would happen with the prop still spinning. Honestly I’d expect you have a good chance of not living long enough to worry about w&b.

Some people have incidents with a working ASI.

I think you are aware that there is a difference between operating with 4 people on board and 2 people. Why are you intentionally ignoring that? Your position is that the son didn't need to be there, and the pilot left him behind on purpose and separated the rescuees on purpose. What a scumbag...

He was hot loading. And for good reason. His son was communicating with the passenger and getting them safely into the heli. To shut down would have created all sorts of other issues. In my opinion doing it without the son would have been foolishly dangerous.

Indeed.

So, to redirect the anger to the right place, having been involved in many software audits myself, I'd wager *someone* has been told repeatedly about this problem for an extended period of time and nothing was done about it. This is probably a big stick to wake someone up. Doesn't make the end...

I'm sure you see no irony in complaining about other people complaining.

I have zero respect for any organized rescue effort that spends time and effort to refuse help from volunteers. In what world would you be organizing a rescue effort and be handed a helicopter out of the blue and tell them to go away? Unless I see evidence that the heli pilot was intentionally...

I don’t recall the hurricane name, but I flew 500 pounds of bottled water into Louisiana to some very grateful people that were still cut off days after the storm hit. It was an organized effort, but was NOT a government effort.
