C206 Crashes after Gender Reveal stunt

[NordicDave]

A Cessna 206 crashed into the Caribbean after creating a pink cloud for a gender reveal stunt.

Maybe I’m too old maybe or the wrong political persuasion, but I simply do not understand this drive for ever increasingly lavish gender reveal parties.

This is so unwoke. You can't know the gender identity at birth.

It’s the natural progression of the social media “look at me” garbage. Farcebook, twirper and the like rose to their size on the backs of narcissistic people with a constant need for attention.

Moose stall. Or in this case, la nina stall?

I'm torn about whether I'd feel better if pilots found more creative ways to crash airplanes. I think I wish they'd just stop doing it.

Vid of crash looks real, no idea if it's connected to a gender reveal.

If it's an April's fool joke, it isn't a good one as there's no humor in it.

Yikes. I don't agree with his attitude. I doubt that using aileron to recover from a spin is ever the best idea.

The guy is a gasbag that presents questionable, sometimes incorrect information.

Seriously. Don’t go there, your head will explode with the insanity.

At 5:50? It looked like he just leveled the yoke when he was saying that. Maybe he's not saying what he's doing?

I don't know, it was the first Moose stall video I found.

Well, the first one was two people from the FAA sitting in chairs reading a queue card with bad jokes on it for 2 minutes.

Got any videos on avoiding moose knuckles?

7:55. "Do what it takes. If it just takes a little bit of aileron..... that's fine."

Bottom line, trying stuff out to get out of a spin is stupid. Train for the proper way so that you do it instinctively, not some "do what it takes not to crash the plane".

And verily I say unto thee, exceed not thy critical angle of attack, and let not thy turns be made uncoordinated, lest the Earth rise up and smite thee.

This was AWESOME. Gave it a like for sure.

Not bad, but I like @Radar Contact 's wife better. She seems move involved in the flight.

She's an ATC controller. She's subtly exerting control over him without him realizing it. Standard procedure for all us married (male gender revealed) pilots...
