@Biff_Talso goes by “Four-Eyed Edo Boy”…who knew.

My guess is the pilot was either very new to the demo world or possibly untrained and just a wild card. It really looks like something he was just making up on the fly, which is obviously a recipe for disaster. I will say the video with him going away from the camera looks a lot more ugly than the one with the camera closest to the recovery. But he’s definitely a lucky fellow. Too bad it’s not one of those self critiquing mistakes where you scare yourself, but no one else sees it. I imagine he’s got some explaining to do.

Child molesters deserve the fate of a prison pin cushion.

Do you have our pic? My most exciting part of the week was the 3-engine Fifi landing on Saturday. Fortunately it is minor and she'll be back on the road this week.

The fact that they're calling it "F"UPT without even a hint of irony tells you everything you need to know.

Why spend $$$ on the Game Bird when Van's RV-4's are much less expensive:

FST is voluntary and refusing has no automatic repercussions. Cop can still arrest you for DUI with probable cause. You can then take the station breathalyzer or blood test. Refusing either is implied consent violation and 180 day suspension appealable after 15 days.

To be clear, I don't think you should refuse a breathalyzer if you are told to take it. What I said, and what ALPA says, is do not offer to take one to 'prove your innocence'. There is a big difference. Pulled over on the side of the road by the police, absolutely refuse the invitation to a field sobriety test. They are not mandatory in any state that I know of and it is a no-win scenario. I'd be interested to know the stat (probably doesn't exist) on the percentage of people that pass a field sobriety test. Probably low single digits or a percentage that starts with 0. The test is 100% subjective and the person grading the test is already convinced you're drunk or he wouldn't ask. A sober Olympic gymnast could fail it. If a cop tells you to take a breathalyzer, there are many states where refusing to do that also is an automatic suspension of your driver's license, which is probably where the FAA got that idea.

hacker is the fucking man i am on record many times saying this....glad you met him!

That sound

He did! I met him! great to see you, and Huggy too!

T-6A avionics upgrade is actively in the works.. I'd have to imagine the T6 will be around at least another 10. And l really couldn't imagine the T-7 getting online for many more years. Randolph is supposed to get its first in December.

BAD COMPANY, I CANT DENY! 🎸
