Just heard. SAR is hampered because of the bad weather.

Reported cloud deck 100' AGL. Yeah, he should have been diverting to another airport. Get-there-itis strikes again.

They smoke checked the brakes....

Boxes recovered. Gonna be an interesting transcript. I'll bet Anju had the controls......

No pre-briefed altitude blocks between the fighters and the B-17. Air boss........needs to own this.

I'm taking "Pilot forgot gust lock for $500 Alex". Probably yanked it out of the yoke after the dust settled.

It would be a kicker if he was working on other planes for the local pilots.

So, Dodd had 6 hrs of flight time on his application in 2013, probably flying a lot since then, gave instruction to his 54yo "trainee", and killed both of them? So no other person or pilot said anything for 10 years? Wow.

Airshow related..... As mentioned before about the swiss cheese therory, that lessons were not learned when it comes to pilot overconfidence and aggressiveness. Holland had a history and he stated himself that he wanted to barrel roll a Buff. The Yakima incident still scares the hell out of...

Did the CAF turn over all of the cockpit videos from all of the planes to the FAA? On another board, a pilot for the CAF went radio silent when asked about this and has never been back. Before that, he went on and on about how safe they were during airshow evolutions. I'm guessing yes and...

Where's the inflight videos? Most, if not all had cameras and recording during the show, especially the B-24. I bring this up for a reason.

Not a single pilot in that group of aircraft raised a concern that there was no discussion of altitude deconfliction? Am I right? Sounds like some are circling the wagons.

Doesn't matter. 40k hours or 4, along with the airboss. If everyone was being "safe" then there should not have been a collision, right? This was a mele that could have been prevented before a prop even turned. Oh, and I have responded to crashes in Alaska and the Bahamas. One was an...

That airshow was a total soup sandwich. I saw enough that things were out of control due to a systemic culture that's obviously a bunch of hot dogs doing what they please. Can you imagine if the wreckage came down on the crowds? Time to ground the CAF

"Requesting flyby of the tower" "NOT THAT TOWER!!!"

Navy Carrier pilot. Good trap

Watched video. Can't stop saying bro, Bro. At least he didn't lose the engine.......lol.

RIP. Was this a Robinson?

Fun fact: my uncle was his crew chief at Edwards in the 70's. My uncle was an &%$ hole on a scale of 10/10. We never got along and he looked down on me for years for going USCG aviation. From what i gathered, from the horses mouth, that America's Hero was a much bigger &%$ hole than him...

I drive past the SnoHo airport frequently. RIP
