...because the plane that crashed was on a practice flight doing those doggone touch-and-gos. Oh wait. It wasn't. But let's ban them anyway. And ban sputtering engines too.

Pilatus PC-12. There is no substitute

Yes but if the inspection costs $40k who cares??? It is not economic to perform the inspection. Hell, it isn't economic at half the cost. It is only an inspection - no value-added. If one is an A&P and doesn't assign a value to one's time, maybe it doesn't seem bad. No, make no mistake...

It is a virtual teardown of the aircraft. Ask owners of 400 series twins. $40k of exploratory surgery on a $40k Cessna 172 doesn't make economic sense. Nor does it make common sense. So a perfectly good airplane gets scrapped. Brilliant.

I can see a new Dr Seuss series... The Cat With The Gat.

WHAT??! IMPOSSIBLE! You're kidding, right!?!?

Unclear. Apparently the serial numbers on the weapon had been scratched off too.

Latest reports indicate the guy was cooking up a batch of crystal catnip at the time, and there may have been some sort of disagreement.

:rofl: Truly!

I second!

And......?

But who cares? Who really cares? It is an internet forum for pilots. The uncompensated volunteers who created, underwrite, and operate the board decided to do away with SZ. So what? Are you going to hire private investigators to ferret out the reasons for their nefarious misdeed? Man...

OMFG!!! I disappear for a year or two into my Fortress of Solitude, and look what happens on the outside!!!!!!!!!

Four adults in a Bo. I know what I think.

$25k for a 152 will get you a nice 152, yes. $25k will get you a really old, or really crappy, or likely both 172. I would not fly in a $25k 182. So, recalibrate your equity assumptions.

Once is an accident. Twice is a coincidence. Three times is a pattern.

ATC offered (more like insisted upon) no gyro guidance. Clearly the controlle rrecognized there was a problem. It was weird how the pilot had problems comprehending that he was to expect 5R. Then it all fell apart. Wonder what kind of nav equipment he had onboard, and what he was accustomed to...

Ugh. That final 'comment' is horrifying. I wish I hadn't gone looking for it.

Given the general level of discourse on the average web comment board! Also, and I haven't read the post in question, could it have been sarcastic? Unserious? As stupid as such a statement would be, it is not illegal to say 'Someone should kill that idiot.' I am concerned about the...
