LOL, yes.
"Why the hell are these wheels called landing gear, and what is a landing anyway?"

The Bush quote seems to express what I think is wrong with a big part of society today. Everyone just moans about things others did not accomplish. For themselfes, that is.
Unfortunately this behaviour is promoted, because it works.

I'm from germany, but its the same way here.

What.

An.

Idiot.

"He apparently likes flying over local events" is a rather dry way of saying "this guy likes to buzz crowds as he is a handsomehunk."

ARG!

You bet, and theres always something along the lines of: "Fly your aircraft, but not in a way that will harm or hurt anyone else".

I'm not so much into the US-Regs, but this was surely not allowed

Looks to me like the dumbarse thought he was in a helicopter. Looks like he stalled it in the turn. Those things have very low HP engines and limited controls. You just cant bank one that steep, there's not enough speed to keep the airflow up. They barely defy gravity as it is. I flew one for years, and thats about as small and simple as they get. That guy wasn't any lightweight either. I'm betting he was over the recommended weight limit on it as it was.
