| About 300 car owners are about to speed dial their insurance offices. | ||
| From: | TM | (Mon Mar 01 02:11:57 2004) |
| lets always remember to set our altimeters correctly kids! and yes, of course... your tax dollars at work! | ||
| From: | rdlongpre@noos.fr | (Mon Mar 08 14:23:41 2004) |
| As a pilot I can attest that MSL and AGL are not the same thing. I wonder if GWB knows that when it comes to taxes! | ||

| READING THE COMMENTS ABOVE, BELEIVE ME THEY WERE NOT WRITTEN BY PILOTS. PUT THEM IN THIS BRAVE MANS PLACE THEY WOULD SH__ IN THEIR FLIGHT SUIT JUST BEFORE THEIR DEATH IN THE BALL OF FIRE. WE ALL KNOW WHAT WALLS THESE PEOPLE USUALLY WRITE ON.>>MAY GOD FORGIVE THEM | ||

| in response to the above comment: i am a pilot, and i have read the accident reports on this incident. it was, in fact, the pilots failure to set his altimeter corectly! careful what you assume, MYAUN! |

| Willie finds out what "That" button does.... | ||
| From: | Intrepid | (Mon Jun 07 21:15:54 2004) |
| This was in the Denver paper a few months ago, he didn't have his altimeter set correctly and he came out of a loop too low and couldn't recover quick enough. | ||
| From: | TM | (Tue Jun 08 03:26:31 2004) |
| intrepid, you are correct except for one thing. it was actually a split "s" maneuver. its all good though...! | ||
| From: | sorin | (Thu Jul 22 06:52:31 2004) |
| i gues the aircraft didn't tolerate him | ||
| From: | shane | (Sat Jul 24 22:01:48 2004) |
| that definetly isn't in the show schedule. | ||

| From: | Matt | (Thu Dec 23 21:43:18 2004) |
| You say they do this at every show. I call that impressive. |

| From: | Gumpster | (Thu Jan 06 20:04:32 2005) |
| Does anyone else find it funny that you have to have a college degree in the Air Force to fly a plane but only a high school diploma to fix them??? | ||
| From: | Mcguyver | (Wed Jan 12 00:59:24 2005) |
| Plus in the civilian world you can make more money driving a bus | ||

| Thank God for Martin Baker ejection seats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11 | ||
| From: | maddog2840 | (Mon Mar 07 10:13:09 2005) |
| Now direct your attention to Show Center as Captain Chris Stricklin in Thunderbird Six demonstartes the Aces II Ejection Seat in a maximum performance climb. | ||

| Eval Keneval decided to try something faster than a bike... | ||
| From: | s2fjohn | (Fri Sep 30 15:05:28 2005) |
| His altimeter was set correctly - the error was in his calculation done before show start for the height at the top of the maneuver, he used bad data (temperture vs barometric pressure) to calculate the altitude (not AGL but MSL) needed to safely perform the maneuver. | ||

| DAMN IT!! Air Boss is gonna be pissed! God, please don't let my chute open!!!! | ||
| From: | knight | (Tue Dec 27 21:46:58 2005) |
| "Air Boss" is a NAVY position. That's an Air Force jet, moron! | ||
| From: | knight | (Tue Dec 27 21:50:06 2005) |
| I'm an aircraft mechanic in the Air force and believe me, we have more education than just a high school diploma. I've been in the Air Force for 18 YRS, and am STILL learning new things. Pilots graduate from college and they are done. | ||
| From: | Sean | (Mon Jan 23 12:08:50 2006) |
| Hey, pilots are not "done" when they get out of college. We learn stuff on the job, and in the air. | ||
| From: | eman_woods | (Thu Mar 23 22:31:35 2006) |
| i'll bet the pilot's gonna check his pants after that one!! | ||
| From: | Spity | (Thu Aug 03 01:32:11 2006) |
| Bit of an Expencive waste just to show how an ejection seat works! | ||
| From: | lino | (Fri Sep 22 18:58:51 2006) |
| i wonder what this does? | ||
| From: | Rivas | (Wed Oct 04 11:19:36 2006) |
| Easy on the pinto beans before you fly. | ||
| From: | J.Smith | (Wed Oct 11 13:56:16 2006) |
| OOOO what does this button d- SHIT! | ||
| From: | Budman | (Sun Oct 29 13:45:18 2006) |
| Sir James Martin saves the day (and the pilot) once again. Martin/Baker ejection seats kick ass. | ||
| From: | JM | (Thu Nov 16 11:08:28 2006) |
| I wanna be an airborn rangerrrrrrrrrrrrr ! where is the lysol and dont go in there | ||
| From: | JR Miller | (Wed Nov 29 20:36:41 2006) |
| At airshows shortly before takeoff, ground crews vigorusly massage the aircraft so that the aircraft ejaculates shortly after takeoff producing this truely spectacular effect. | ||

| Should have called Geico | ||
| From: | Horrie | (Sun Jul 01 04:32:13 2007) |
| Wrong buttom ????? I saw that many years ago in a Sabre.(Argentinian one) | ||
| From: | Steve Edinger | (Wed Aug 01 01:07:14 2007) |
| One "funny" point. A major purpose of air shows is to encourage people to join the military, including potential pilots. How many people saw this and decided to sign up? | ||
| From: | Steve Edinger | (Wed Aug 01 01:08:31 2007) |
| Also, there is no point in either enlisted or officers trying to suggest they are the ones who keep up on training while the other side of the house does not. Anybody who has been in the military knows training is "forever", except perhaps in times of war! | ||

| Ouch! | ||

| We have a budget crunch people, catch the canopy. | ||
| From: | Sorry, I pulled the wrong watcha me call it | (Mon Nov 19 11:27:04 2007) |
| Sorry boss I pulled the wrong watcha me call it | ||
| From: | donny dee | (Wed Feb 06 16:46:08 2008) |
| Altimeter setting is simple, Make sure it at nought when you are on the ground | ||
| From: | Dutch meister | (Fri Feb 15 08:32:13 2008) |
| This guy must have thought that it would be part of the show. I guess he was wrong. |
||
| From: | Thud Driver | (Tue Feb 19 01:33:20 2008) |
| You know, if you look at the attitude & sink rate of the aircraft at the moment of ejection, I think he would have made it (barely) but I sure don't blame him for not waiting to see... | ||
| From: | CF104 | (Wed Mar 12 13:46:57 2008) |
| ACES II seats are not made by Martin Baker(UK). They are made by Goodrich in the USA and equip the F-16. Eject, Eject, Eject!!!! | ||
| From: | Air4ceFlyBoy | (Thu Mar 13 20:35:48 2008) |
| So, where does this pilot work now? | ||

| If my tax dollars are going down in flames...I only wish I was there to have seen this shit hit the ground. | ||
