on Faux news? landing with one landing gear stuck.

edit: the one wheel that deployed collapsed on contact, pilot made a non-eventful belly landing...

Almost everyday I hear about some private pilot killing him/herself along with a few passengers. I have come to the conclusion that I won't go up in one of this death traps again.
Sorry to all you Pilots out there, but it is when not if with me.

cesna dangerous?

more likely to be hit by lightning than crash a cesna, i rekon.

the 152s are about the easiest thing to fly in the world, hardly a death trap unless the pilot is a moron or youre very unlucky.

152 and 152rg are very safe aircraft.

its more often pilot error than the aircrafts fault

watched it, beautiful landing, i think they must have shut down the engine before touch down, looks like the prop was not even bent.

There's no such thing as a cesna either.

How is the bicycle working out?

Nah, if they made the same fuss over each bicycle death, he'd be absolutely terrified at the very sight of 'em. Plane deaths just get reported more because it's sexier, and he hasn't figured that out yet.

Maverick · « **Reply #12 on:** November 29, 2007, 02:16:22 PM »

Nope it's not quite that Chairboy. It's that some folks are really just not qualified to deal with more than a computer game. Some of them are good because they know their limitation in that matter.
