She did not have only 200 hours, that was Gryder pulling that out of his nether regions like usual. And his assessment of stalls/spins, and Juan’s, shows they probably haven’t actually done it. And there’s nothing wrong with a tail low wheel landing, either. And I’d like to meet the T-6 pilot...

You're not supposed to ask about it, they're not supposed to tell about it, you can't invite yourself to it, you must be asked, and you must have a penis. Chapters vary on usefulness and impressiveness or not so much.

But you should know me a lot better before you know me well enough to know not to trust me!

I came back to say I was surprised at the "no altitude separation was briefed" and I'm guessing the Final report will have some clarification of that. In the general briefing, I remember the 500' and 1000' crowd lines being pointed out clearly and discussed. The traffic flow (north vs south)...

Okay, I feel like I'm talking into a vacuum, so I'll just say this and then hopefully be able to move on and let folks think what they will. For context, I am not an official for any organization, nor am I a self-proclaimed YouTube Expert, but I've flown airshows since 2008, and my husband was...

No, it doesn't, and no it isn't. There is an airshow/waivered airspace briefing every single day, for that day specifically. People and planes that aren't briefed don't fly at that day's show. Friday's weather sucked, and several of the planes were unable to get in. Several of the pilots...

Every airshow has a plan and a briefing, with an airboss, the FAA, and participants all in attendance. This briefing happened Friday, even though nobody was able to fly because of weather, out of professionalism, and safety, should the weather miraculously clear off. Then again Saturday for...

Ah, thanks! In that case, I've been cruising along in a flib at FL380 then. Even FL410. :D

p.s. What's a flib?

The Aerostar does fine single engine, as long as you get the drag up/off. Leave the 40° of flaps in and you're coming down like a manhole cover, but leave all the drag in on most any other piston twin and you'll end up with similar results, so...bottom line, cleaned up and flown properly, it...

I’m guessing that after the runway excursion, instead of pulling the power and taking the whoops, they firewalled it and tried to “save “it, got airborne again and either stalled out or hit the trees. But I’m not going to put out a video explaining why I think I know who did what when and who...

https://www.theladders.com/expert/thomas-sands-e63f3b He was listed as a "student pilot" until 2020, and then he started this job. According to the FAA database, he got his Single Commercial in 7/20 and CFI in 2/21.

She just got her high performance endorsement March 2nd, in a C-172XP. I congratulated her on it and asked what HP that had, and she said 210. She'd flown a 206 starting the last half of March, and she was really excited about this new job. I don't know anything about him other than he had...

I don't know who else was in the plane or what their roles were on that flight, but Cinna wasn't a show-off kind of pilot. She was always very conscientious, still young enough as a pilot to be eager to learn, eager to get started in her professional flying career, not eager to be a yahoo, or to...

Gosh, I don't know about that, but thanks... Yeah, I've stuck around this business for 30+ years and sadly, no, it's not close to my first loss. Including my husband's best friend with him watching, another was one of our former instructors, then there was a close friend and two boys who were...

It was a pipeline patrol airplane, with a young lady named Cinnamon on board starting a new job. She was from south of Indy. "Somebody" said they were seen landing at Marlin and it went wrong, but that's about as heresay as it gets. I knew her, she was so excited to be starting off with her...

Pet peeve of mine too. If he had the control to aim to miss the houses, he had the control to fly away into the sunset. Video has emerged, and he was just along for the ride.

Champs, Cubs, Citabrias, they don't seem to mind a little tailwind if you pay attention, like you always should in a taildragger, but the T-6 does not like it. It definitely got entertaining, in fact Chuck Yeager groundlooped one doing a quartering tailwind landing, and I'm not Chuck Yeager...

https://t.co/sXB1dEBFIM?amp=1 The NTSB Preliminary is out, with a fair amount of detail for a prelim.

True! Inefficient and probably more time consuming and expensive in the end, counting start up, taxi, run-up, takeoff, getting somewhere, and reversing all that to come back in, twice, just to get a few minutes in of maneuvering each time possibly, but multiple short flights would work too.
