Lol that's a great one, it almost surely has to be a display of some kind. When I saw that picture I right away thought of this picture. http://www.airliners.net/open.file/0591257/M/ I think I've seen this one myself since I lived in Odense for several years and did occasionally go down the walking-streets where this pub is located.

hmmm...this "display" is kind of blocking traffic and the sidewalk. Are you sure?

Well it was just a guess really, I noticed something at the wingtips was removed, but not sure if it was wingtips or missilepylons, but how would one get there unless transported on a truck and that would be noticed when it was to be unloaded, but does anyone know where it is?

OOPS--I wonder if those firemen (or the pilot) figured that 15 feet was half of a 36 foot wingspan----I'm sure the correct answer was not long in coming---afterwards---YEEESH, talk about dumb~ :-\

Did you notice that he clipped the semi's mirror before he hit the fire truck?

I noticed that it seemed like there were sound effects added in to that video...
Re: the Mig.... it looks like it's in the way, but I think that it's not actually overhanging the street. Hard to tell from pictures.

Post by: Gulfstream Driver on December 14, 2006, 04:46:56 PM
I think the sound was out of sync on the video. I've seen a better file somewhere else, but couldn't remember where. I knew youtube would have it.

Saw that one about a year ago, but it didn't have sound then. The screeching tires were obviously added after the fact. I have to wonder what the heck he was trying to do? if he was taking off why didn't he have any flaps down? And if it was a planned take off after an emergency why are the fire truck and semi truck parked there instead of far out of the way? I'm wondering if this wasn't a movie stunt or something similar.

Now that I listen again, it's definately over-dubbed. It's too bad you can't get the tail number to see if there's an accident report on it.

ok, no sound in this one, but it proves it real. It was origionally shown on a news cast, its the second clip in this series.

Uhm, are you sure you linked to the right place? I only saw tons of crashes and many of them looked fatal, including two pilots in parachutes landing in the flames of the tomcat they just ejected from.

yea, it is the second clip, of the cessna crashing. There are a buncha other crashes, but the one of the cessna is number two.

Oh, my bad, I just woke up when seeing that and I was looking for the MIG.

i actually posted some more pics of the mig a few posts back.

Yes I saw those, and I thoght park sculptures in Denmark were special ::rofl:: Actually in a small village somewhere in Denmark there is the tower of a soviet submarine in the local village pond/lake or whatever it's called in english. There are small waterspouts around it and a tiny model battleship next to it, it looks great :D

wth? Looks like a perfectly good road right next to him, and looks like an airport it near by, and he puts it in a tree? ::loony::
Apparently with no gear down, he was looking for something like a catchers mitt from American Baseball, and thought the tree would do the job.... ::knockedout:: musta hurt.
jbs

Found an article online about the accident. Apparently it was near Colorado Springs last month. Engine failure.

If the guy thought his gear was up (it's down and welded on a Cherokee 180) I can see how he would opt to land in a tree ::loony::

Who taught him to try a restart in the pattern? Just land the damn thing.

You are exactly right Gulf, |:)\ however, some folks still think the airplane won't fly unless the engine is making noise ::loony::

Yea no kiddin. We practice that here all the time. They will kill your throttle mid field, ask for a short approach and you gotta land the plane from ehre ever you are.

I've done that with students too but they forget the priorities which are; (1) Aviate (2) Navigate (3) Communicate And what makes some people forget number (1) is that they have never considered just how quiet an airplane really gets when the engine quits completely and they get distracted (also completely) ::eek::

yea, i always liked doing power off approaches, for some reason they were easier for me

Yeah but you still have that engine idling away, ready to add power---Have you experienced an inflight shut down with the prop stopped? ::sweat::
For fun sometime, go get yourself a flight instructor who is capable of demonstrating engine off performance. Then go out about 6 or 8 miles from the airport and at about 5,000 AGL, stage cool the engine, shut it down, stop the prop, and glide on back---in a light trainer, you will have enough altitude to make the airport and do a 1080 overhead approach. I have demonstrated it on a number of occasions and use it as confidence builder---do not do this on your own! Do flight schools even teach 1080s anymore?
Anyway, it is different than a power off approach and you will be amazed at how much stopping the prop decreases the sink rate.
I know a guy with a 182 who ran out of fuel 10 miles from the airport at about 6 or 7,000 AGL and crashed a half mile from the runway because he (1) let the prop windmill, (2) failed to maintain best glide speed and (3) tried to figure out a right base entry to the pattern. He and his 3 passengers walked (crawled actually) out of a totalled airplane simply because he panicked when everything became silent. The solution to this problem training, training, training and learning a circling overhead approach (1080) is the key. Lets face it, glider/sailplane train for zero thrust flight and it's not a big deal BUT you have to be right the first time, everytime!

I dont know about other places, but one of the training things we they teach or every engine failure is to hit best glide, and circle till we find our landing spot. From there we try to do a normal pattern, cutting base short if we need to to make the runway.

Well gee, if that's what they teach then I guess that's the best answer for you :-\
