Yeah, Waffle; certainly brings a shady aspect to the thread. The Cavalry arrived in what.... about three minutes?

Big flaw to try to take facts you don't have to the topic at hand.


Yeap. I admit I didn't know it was an airshow. As soon as I was informed by a more knowledgable person... I replied accordingly with something like 'Ah, figured'...

But yeah. whatever you say fits in pretty well.

Honestly, what just happened when I was gone for a bit?

Glasses, are you trying to point out something to HTC based on an airshow accident? I don't see any other information you posted so I'm going to assume that you're this redheaded kid with a stick and a desire to hit a beehive a few times.

You could have saved yourself the negative light and the impending disownment by whatever peers you have left by just not posting the video with your snide commentary. GTFO

The accident was likely caused by the pilot's kneeboard getting tied up with the yoke. At least that was the conclusion reached in the report I read.
The routine that was performed that day was performed repeatedly, and included ONE roll. The second roll was not part of the normal routine. It had nothing to do with the plane, or its handling characteristics.

He did this once this morning and they deleted the thread, he didn't get PNG'd. Unfortunately.

Well you know if it did have the over modeled positronic AmerINbreeder flaps I wouldn't whine much :D

Besides I think most of my threads are considered a non threat to HTC or their bussiness they delete my thread but they don't kick me out  you need people like me in AH so it means something inside game when you get your kills in the uberfied arcade FM cartoon planes :D

Cus I want to prove my point.

Yup I'm betting on a PNG. HT just loves the type who need to prove a point on his BBS.

Now who was the last guy who puffed his chest up and proved a point?

And what point was that other than pointing out he's just a typical Luftwhiner?  In case you didn't know, that crash in that video had nothing to do with how difficult it is to fly a warbird.  It was unfortunate pilot error that resulted when the pilot's kneeboard got caught in the yoke.  But then, considering you're one of Glasses' friends, it's not hard for you not to see the actual point.
