crash

Amazing people of such importance can be flown into a mountain. Is it poor/inexperienced pilots or do they just fly IFR without ATC over there? How does this happen?

CNN Link: https://www.cnn.com/2023/07/23/us/plane-crash-houston/index.html Unfortunately it sounds like a fatality was reported when it crashed into the power lines :confused:... CNN: "The crash involved a crop-duster-style aircraft, Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said on Facebook, a...

Saw a Mark Patey post where they are recovering a crash victim and lifting an airplane out. Anyone have any information?

This is an excellent video by Joe Casey (DPE) on Spatial Disorientation. Some of the illustrations and techniques in this video are eye opening. Ways to show the effects of SD and ways to avoid SD begin about halfway through the video (see they guys spinning with the bats - LOL). Enjoy!

Nasty crash of an experimental aircraft. This is hard to see but there are huge lessons to be learned. Sadly we have a person at our airport that could be following the same path ... his head is very hard and his ears ain't working. What would you do to prevent this?

All I can say is... WOW..... Had the opportunity to meet him a few times through the years, let's just say he lived a "Colorful" life. Look it up, it is well detailed. Won the 24 hours of LeMans Raced P-51's and an F8F Bearcat at the Reno Air Races. Ran 5 Indy 500's, NASCAR Daytona, and many...

When I'm not enjoying the heck out of the advice and wisdom from this forum, I'm a public safety manned and unmanned pilot. Not that long ago I had a dire situation during a 2 AM flight looking for a missing autistic child with a drone that just autolanded. That drone issue led me to start...

Just wondering how many of you have experienced an unintentional stall/spin before. What plane were you in and what did you learn from it? I have only done them intentionally in a C-152 and found them hard to get in to. I know it is much easier in a less stable airplane.

WWII Photo Recce pilot makes a wheels up landing which was filmed by the Flight Surgeon. The Flight Surgeon's grandson finds the film, locates the pilot and makes a documentary. The pilot is amazing. 93 yrs old and as sharp as ever. The Dixon the pilot mentions is Bob Dixon, General USAF...

Happened yesterday afternoon at a private 1650' strip. Amazing that no one heard it or saw it happen, although there were many people standing outside. As we wondered why a 150 was circling overhead and what happened to the Comanche that just flew by, the pilot of the Comanche walked up to...
