KILL DEVIL HILLS, North Carolina (AP) -- A replica of the 1903 Wright Flyer, being readied for next month's ceremonies celebrating the centennial of flight, crashed during a practice takeoff but had relatively minor damage.
Pilot Terry Queijo, an American Airlines captain, was unhurt in Tuesday's mishap,

bad karma to talk sheet about other's flying skillz, dude

here's teh juice

Dude,

Do you really think flying that airplane has a single thing to do with any skill you and I have ever learned in conventional aircraft?

 

[enigma]

Just being true to history. Didn't Will or Orv also crash on their first attempt (few days before the Dec 17 flight)?

Actually, Aviation Week reported that the male pilot flew at Nags Head last week. I also seem to remember that they had both flown the replica at home base in Virginia. Typical of the media, aviation media included, to report the crash. I'm glad that Aviation Week took the time to report the earlier flights.

Why did they pick him to fly it? Because of his extensive aviator experience? They should have picked a glider or cropduster driver IMO.


Fly Safe!

I hope TSA has a screening point on one of the dunes.
This could be some sort of Al Qaeda plot!

"bad karma to talk sheet about other's flying skillz, dude"

I only posted a portion of an article. Any inferences you made from the article of her "flying skillz" or lack thereof are your own.


Course I can't believe crashing the Wright flyer can be considered good karma.

"aa expertise??"

Pylut, you only posted portions of the article? Then who put that bs about aa expertise in your post, your fairy godmother? The implication was made by you.

Skank-
All the crap that gets thrown around on this board and you get bent about an "implication"....excuse me while I chortle in your general direction...guffaw even.

 

[Skank]

No, it was mostly the fact that you did not own up to it that annoyed me, and still annoys me.

 

[pylut]

still laughing at skank

Skank-
As my previous post implies, your annoyance continues to amuse me.

Dude,

Get over it, TWA is gone.

 

[Skank]

...and your amusement continues to annoy me?

 

[pylut]

"Dude,

Get over it, TWA is gone."

So are: pull tab coke cans, USSR, Pan Am, Dayglo fashions of the 80's, and the Studebaker.

But I don't see how they relate to the crashing of the Wright Flyer either. If your suggesting somehow that terry queijo is behind all of that I'm going to need to see some proof.

Not that this has ANYTHING to do with this thread but, TWA is not gone. We/they are still operated seperately. Now it's just called TWA LLC. Don't worry though, they will be gone by May 04.

And, even though Eastern, Pan Am, Braniff, Peoples Express, Mohawk, Republic, Trans Continental and Western, etc. are all no longer stand aone companies they still remain in the hearts and minds of many!

As for getting over it............ WE will. Give us time. It was heartbreaking.
