You really need to get a grip Creamo.

Personally I'm excited because I didn't come across fatalities, etc.
I'm excited because it's simply a set of photos of a downed aircraft and not the horror I was afraid of finding.

to me, sharing this is a sort catharsis. It helps me to share the joy of finding such a bad crash without the loss of life.

It makes me happy actually. I am relieved.

Too bad you can't see that and instead choose to paint some sort of morbid picture out of it. Take it for what it is and quit trying to read something of your own into it.

besides all that..
my motivation was simple. Get there, get there quickly, provide assistance to anyone that needed it.
After running down the mountain, scared as hell that I would find victims...
I find instead, a plane crash with NO victims.

What could be more incredible than that !

----

I provided the info and link in my original post. You knew what you were getting before you clicked on the links to the pictures.
No one forced you to click them and look and yet you complain because you saw them?

I don't get it but then again I don't get you.
For the last time... sorry if you were offended. It was not my intention. Anything else you get out of it is your own thing.

I would have done the same thing I if where at a simmilar situation with a camera, no doubt.

Looking at those pictures it is amazing that anybody could survive, hope the involved heals 100%.

Thx for sharing Wlfgng.

The 332 "VIKING" squadron

Creamo, Are you already liquored up? Little early isn't it?

You Poor Bum.

-----------------------------

I was thinking the same thing wlfie. If they had not survived the crash, then the photos would be tasteless. They did not die, they lived and will probably be ok. I don't see posting the pictures as being tasteless. They show nothing but smoldering wreckage.

Don't sweat it, creamo will sober up and be our pal again.

Creamos been sensitive about this kind of thing ever since he and the Grand Master were really badly burned by a crashing small plane while the GM was giving young Creamo special instruction in the bushes outside thier monthly rally.

Whoa guys.. cut the Creamer a bit of slack.

The guys an aircraft mechanic.

And he cares about what he does.

He walks out of his house every day, puts wrenchs on those birds, has to ask himself a thousand times a day "Did I do it right??"

Every time he sees a crash he's askin himself "One of mine??"

He's a lot closer to the subject than the rest of us, and if yah look at it from his perspective, you'll understand that flying accidents are not a spectator sport.

You're right Hangtime. I've been a tinbasher (structures technician) for a decade now and it hits closer to home when you hear of a crash. A lot of skill and experience goes into keeping them up. You don't like to hear about one augering.

Drex,
I thought we talked about everything.. but we never talked fly fishing tonight! I have a lot of time on the Frying Pan, Roaring Fork and other Colorado Rivers. I tie my own flies, build my own rods and have a lot a flyfishing buddies in Colorado. Lets talk

I hate airplane wrecks, and they are horrid, and I think pix of them are morbid, and I blasted Wlf pretty ridiculous for it. Whoops. Got called drunk and Grandmaster (whatever that is) and am HB's pal which aint to bad.

Wlfgng · « **Reply #26 on:** August 17, 2001, 09:07:00 AM »

I'm a former aircraft mechanic myself.. not to mention Coast Guard.. so I can relate to a point.

Anyway.. no offense intended.

Drex, Thunder.. YESSIR!!! let's go.
Actually last night I caught 2 over 20 and 1 over 28 .. inches that is.. what a night!

all on dries (green drakes, yellow sallies)

much improved and stable.

Ozark.. drop me a line, I have some info for you and your training class. Including what the NTSB found.

Creamo

There was nothing wrong with him posting that picture nor telling the story along with it.

I found it interesting to hear that people suvived the crash.

If you don't like to see things like that then don't look at them.

Creamo · « **Reply #29 on:** August 17, 2001, 10:21:00 AM »

Hmmm, good post Mighty.

I never looked at it so insightful. Thanks for changing my mind entirely.

Its enlightening additions to a dead thread that make it all worthwhile.
