Sadly, they neglect to realise that the only ones that actually believe their little ego trips and chest thumping are other low time right seaters that share the same ego.
Unfortunately there seems to be more and more imbeciles starting out in corporate/commercial aviation each year. Keep on believing that know one will ever match your amazing 733t skilz at piloting your way to stardom.
Anyways, to all you know-it-all noob corporate right seaters. You are truly all God's Gifts to aviation and the world in general. 
I'd like to have you point out where I say I'm the new Bob Hoover, Bodhi. Would I be safe in an F-86 tomorrow? I think not. Fly a 2000hp round engine in front of an F4U? Well if I take a look and see the biggest motor I've flown behind in a piston airplane is 400hp with a nosewheel, 300 with a tailwheel I'd venture a guess at no. As far as who should be flying the airplanes this guy fit the bill as to who exactly you'd want in the cockpit.
When I made my first post these were the facts.
-Hawker Hunter smashes into houses presumably after an airshow after serving as a static display (Implying that no waiver granted to fly said airplane in said airshow)
-Pilot is an Attorney. Implying not a career military pilot with extensive training in similar jets...of which pilots are becoming increasingly rare.
After watching both very qualified guys and others who shouldn't have been able to sit in the damn thing fly an airplane into the ground just the possibility that some rich guy farting around in his toy took it into some houses really made me mad. Not because an unqualified guy took it into the ground, but because if he did he put perfectly innocent people in danger doing so. There is nothing worse in my book.
After seeing the video...another point I've made before regarding eyewitness statements regarding airplane accidents. How many times have you heard a witness explain that a PT-6 was "revving up and down like a race car" or something similar. The first statements talking about the engine making noise and then nosing over sound just like a recent accident in which I lost a friend in a business jet. He was captain, FO was flying and stalled the airplane turning base.
Between emotion, alcohol and being tired I gave a non warm-fuzzy opinion. There it is. I'll try to be PC next time some unqualified ******* flys himself into the ground if it makes you feel better.
The witness statements didn't say anything about a quiet airplane dropping like a rock exactly like a hunter would. But when's the last time they were close to reliable.
As far as Straiga...I'll just resurrect the old
and say I would have done everything just the same fighting to give em a fair deal.
