    Crazy lady attacks seaplane in Halibut Cove, AK

    Apparently, a woman in HC who owns a ferry boat and a restaurant there attacked a seaplane with a smaller boat she also owns just recently. Beaver taxiing out of cove while she crossed the plane, causing a prop strike in a large wave. No link, it's in Reddit with video. Sounds like she has...

    Dale Snodgrass crash in Idaho

    Looking at photos of the Marchetti control lock. I'm making an assumption that this big red contraption is attached to the pedals, pivots down to a spring clip on the floor, allowing free movement of the pedals. Is this the case? Edit: looked at the report. The photo of the lock from the...

    Dale Snodgrass crash in Idaho

    We had a scroll checklist in our helos. There was only one time the AC and co-pilot missed an item during landing, which was landing gear down. We had a long rescue and everyone was dealing with saturation issues. We were in flare out when I caught it. I was in the habit, along with the...

    N56KJ Pilatus PC-12 crash docket released

    At the end of the CVR: (Sound of heavy breathing) (Ohhh/hold on) ---Thud sound--- Ok. What was so damn important for Kirk that he had to be there? Taking off from an unprepared runway? Snow/icy conditions? Impatience with the plowing? Confirmation bias crept in from his business...

    N56KJ Pilatus PC-12 crash docket released

    Yeah, I did some digging and confirmed it was Kirk. Interesting that his name was "scrubbed" or difficult to find when trying to determine who was at tge controls. So yeah, Kirk murdered several family members due to hubris.

    N56KJ Pilatus PC-12 crash docket released

    Sounds like the Hansen family put some pressure on the pilot to get to their destination? Snow storm, ice buildup, get-there-itis. I sometimes have zero sympathy when ****-poor decisions are made and it results in death. Maybe I saw this movie too many times.

    Taylorcraft down California

    He's gonna be sneaking some flights in. Knew a couple of pilots in NE Washington who owned their planes and flew for years with no license. No medical, flight plans, etc.

    Cessna 208B crash short of Burley Municipal Airport

    WX looked like 26 deg, light snow and mist. Could be a factor.

    Cessna 208B crash short of Burley Municipal Airport

    It looks like she clipped the 60' tall silos. Very low considering the distance to the threshold. Can anyone confirm that she made a go-around before the incident?

    Cessna 208B crash short of Burley Municipal Airport

    On top of a potato processing plant. Sounds like light snow could have been a factor. RIP

    Robinson chopper down

    Happened to one of our H3's in Central America back in early 90's. Saw power lines at last second, dumped collective and pushed cyclic if I remember. Whacked the top of the cockpit. Spent some time at an airport while our metal benders fixed it.

    China Airlines goes down with 132 souls on board

    Catastrophic cabin depressurizing in the cockpit area? Pilot or copilot got her down to altitude, pulled too many G's then down again? Spitballing here. Don't want to step on Dan's toes.
