This caused quite a ruckus as all other NESers are multi-planeal and are supporters of all types of aircraft, so we all love Drifters and other raggers and tubers.

"I second what our leader, bull, has had to say on this issue" said CT, who then gave a quick dissertation, only 2000 words, on the benefits of the CT Super aircraft and the principals of recent Flight Design empennage developments, plus 15 minutes on the delights of DG (you could tell that he has a rural lifestyle subdivision being planned).

"I just always oppose every crass thing that Turbo utters" said Onetrack, giving Turdy the 1 finger salute.

"I don't agree with what he said, but I defend his right to say it, even though it should get him another ban" added Cappy, always loyal to a fault (and the TP sure has lots of faults) to his best and long-term mate.

GHISLANE SENT CAPPY THE BELOW PHOTO FROM THE PRISON MESS ROOM PARTY

Looking at the above photo and the subsequent admissions made by Turbo, is he cradling the breast of the CIA operative, and did he get luckier than he has been for the past 3 decades?

However this is an aviation site as Cappy would do well to remember, he has significantly let out the secret that he has been night flying most nights [bonus Avref].  As we know Cappy was taught to fly by Biggles, and along with Algy, Cappy learnt to formate on the red hot exhaust of Biggles on the blackest of nights. Foxhunter was too young to be taught and Ahlox, who could have, was a shirker just as he is anywhere near a fire. It all ended when one night Wing Commander Jock McInnes Macgregor Pak Poy Turbine caught them at it and the jolly old game was up.   After that Cappy never lost the taste of night flying in the ....................

I see that Dan has hooked into the ''AirBoss' again, which seems to be appropriate given all of the reporting that I have seen on this accident .............. but equally staggering, as we have discussed earlier, is the decision of the high hours fighter pilot to accept the directive to cross-over without checking the airspace needed to do that (he possibly assumed that the AirBoss had checked that all was safe before giving the cross-over directive), but even moreso is the culture of the organisation as reported by Dan, that if you question of criticise the organisation in any way you can't fly & are out. Probably explains why nobody spoke against the plan at the briefing, but not the fact that the FAA rep(s)stayed quiet in the briefing too.

What a mess it was.

Legal Clarification Statement ..... as another aside ..... Speaking of Epstein Island & in an attempt to offset any claims of a clash of interest, Cappy needs to confess to all NESers that he has struck up a prison romance with Ghislane Maxwell, as Cappy thinks she is hot and dreams about her when he is not on Wreck Flying much of the night.

Ghislane has expressed love for Cappy and hopefully he can get her released before she is snuffed out by the Killery C machine.

Cappy is negotiating for a monitored release around either Kapooka or Liechtenstein, as Cappy reckons that there is nothing yummier than a woman in an ankle bracelet.

The overtaking issue is one of the primary issues here. Why was it even allowed? You commence a manoeuvre to overtake another much slower aircraft, and then you just "assume" the much slower aircraft is way behind you??

Yeah, that'll work every time, particularly when there's no altitude deconfliction and the chances of collision are at a massive level.

What was that old saying about "assume"? "It makes An Ass out of U and Me"?

 

Another thing I fail to understand is this critical "500 foot", "1000 foot" and "2000 foot lanes". Juan produces a map of Google Earth and shows markers on the terrain for the precise positioning of the lanes - but there's no ground markers for these lanes for the aircraft putting on the show.

 

How did they reference these lanes so precisely without ground markers? The pilots have some ground references in the form of the runway and taxiway and the crowd - but what were the pilots looking at, to keep them to these very precise boundaries?

The whole airshow operation is going to go down in history as the worst possible example of how not to run an airshow.

Agree Onetrack.

I was speechless at the facts outlined by Juan and the crossover called for during the show by the "AirBoss".

Throughout the briefing and then during the display, all of these very experienced pilots just went along with it.

It is staggering that everyone stayed schtumm, particularly given the relative inexperience of the "AirBoss".
