Chairboy Not if they're war heroes! Haven't you been reading the thread?
Chairboy I know that the question has already been asked but I would like it repeated:
How long have you been rated as a pilot ?
How many hours do you have in the type of the aircraft that Mr. Yeager was piloting at the time of incident ?
If you don't have any such experience, which I'm pretty sure the case is, how can you make any type of intelligent conclusion as to why the incident happened without any type of factual investigation of the afore mentioned ? From that snippet posted any number of factors may or may not have happened leading to the end result of the aircraft leaving the tarmac. These could be anything from a mechanical failure to a pilot failure, but then again nothing in that post alludes to anything other than the fact that Mr Yeager was the Pilot in Command. Once again we the public are left to assume that the 5th Estate has correctly protrayed events in the most accurate manner possible, unless gifted by such clairvoyant talents many apparently, such as yourself, posses and are able to discern facts that are not included in the original article. Might I suggest as to ask how and why you have come to the conclusion that age is the only factor, if it is in fact a factor, resulting in the aforementioned article ?
