Wait, is it the Geezers or the Youngsters you're dismissive of? Wait, I'm in the middle so I guess that covers about everyone. :D

And with an unlocked tailwheel, once it went, they were pretty much along for the ride, and adding full power and trying to do a go-around could have ended up worse than they already got.

I thought you were supposed to start with "Caffeinate".

Yes, I, not Gryder, am the pontificator with a hoard of minions expanding on my vast experiences and why I know all things about every accident. Sure! I don’t watch his videos any more, since I watched a few and saw how off they and he were/was. But I’ve actually learned quite a bit off of...

I’m too young to have done it in reality, but I got the reference—I just assumed you were talking about the guy who has his own YouTube channel dedicated to telling everyone how he knows everything about every accident, before the bodies are out sometimes, without actual facts...

What I did when I tested the brakes in the air and realized I had a brake failure in a T-6 before landing, instead of taking it where I was going, which was a more narrow runway surrounded by trees that usually got pretty gusty, with a big ditch off to one side, I took it back to a long, wide...

It does have the walking gear. I've had three people in the last two months come up to me with concerns about what's wrong with my gear, one of them an A&P, just hadn't heard of walking gear. He still looked at me funny when he walked away, not really sure he believed it. (I don't own it btw, I...

We get made fun of for our tailwheel sticking out by other Beech owners. ;)

1943 RC-45J

Here's my gripe. One of them. This is the guy who insists on adding another line on the airspeed indicator for *safety* because too many people are ignoring the other indicators on the airspeed indicator that they're not supposed to go below. This is the guy who advocates a different formula...

The Beech 18 I fly also does not have a tailwheel that retracts.

If only he’d also be right about what he claims

The truth often comes out, but justice…not so much…

I don’t care if he wants to speculate on crashes most of the time, as everyone does that on crash threads anyway. I don’t want him necessarily “cancelled”, other than the fact he shouldn’t have the right to smear everyone else on a personal level, which he does repeatedly, with no recourse. I do...

I know that life isn’t fair, and I don’t expect it to be. But sometimes…. A lot of times if you’re patient enough, the truth comes out about a person eventually. But still.

It’s not his opinion that is the problem. It is his statement of things as facts that are not facts, which then harm other people’s reputation, business, memory, whatever, that is the problem. Where do you start? The lawsuit spells out a bunch of falsehoods. He claimed the guy was diabetic, had...

I know, but I was still actually talking about Gryder there too.

Pretty sure Gryder identifies as a he. ;)

He's not often right, but he's never in doubt. Classic narcissist like an abusive spouse who spouts off stuff like it's fact, then when faced with the proof that he's wrong, that's either not what he said, not what he meant, it's your fault, or it doesn't matter if he's wrong on that because...

I usually let other people click and then tell me. :D But the downside to not correcting their errors is that people then are free to think “a 200 hour pilot who didn’t belong in a T-6 as evidenced by this terrible landing couldn’t recover from a basic spin which is no big deal”, and then they...
