The whole program was planned to the last detail and repeated countless times in simulator.

The plane was never bellow Vref +30 (165 knots).

If you google a bit, you'll find clips from different angle where plane appears faster...


BOOM! Goes the dynamite!

So much for the "expert" opinion of a "pilot" with time in an astounding FOUR, yes count them, FOUR, fixed wing aircraft!

Will AquaShrimp and his boundless confidence grace this thread again?  Will the names of those who called him out on his ignorance be added to his 'Ignored:' sig?

Tune in later for the next chapter in this exciting serial of improper condescension, baseless personal attacks, and FOUR DIFFFERENT TYPES of aircraft!

I never even noticed I made his ignore list.  I guess the reply to the "scolding" PM he sent me hurt his feelings.  I feel special.

No need to feel special, I'm on it too. It's not all that exclusive.

What more do you want me to say?  Someone said that the planes minimum speed reached 165knts.  Yes, that is about what I thought.  It gave me a little bit more confidence in the pilot's ability when someone said he was the TAP Chief Test Pilot.  But thats not the end all be all.  It was still a zero margin for error flight.  Shoot, the pilot who crashed that B-52 was a high hour Colonel.

You can post all the contrary written evidence that you want, the video evidence still shows an airliner hauling around at low altitude and low speed.  If there is a video from a different angle that shows the plane was really at 5000 feet, post it then.  Thats the first thing everyone always says "Oh its just the video angle".

If I offended some drunk that lives in Virginia, or a fat guy that flies a tiny plane, that was not my original intention, just an added benefit.

Now wait a minute…  He did point out that you are fat; which clearly nullifies anything that you may have said even if other non-fat people agree with you.  That really was a brilliant last minute save on his part.

True....  I guess he wins!

Congrats, AquaShrimp!  You bested us all with your relentless logic!

I have logged time in a Citabria, a C150, C172, C182, Piper Colt, 140, and a Warrior: 7 planes.  So far that makes my opinion the most authoritative on this subject.

And what makes you assume I'm some sort of drunk??? Please enlighten me with your boundless knowledge. Must be a Virginia joke I've never heard before but once again you have made a statement based on nothing at least as far as calling me a drunk. As far as Chairboy being fat....I couldn't tell you. Never seen a picture of him nor met him in real life.


Next thing you know he's going to say I kick puppies, drown cats and that I'm a member of the Democratic party.

Come on man......can you get anything right??
