Emergency landing turns Stupid

[1flier]

Hey you will love this. Yesterday we had a Cessna 210 make an emergency landing on the road in front of Baton Rouge metro without any damage because he ran out of fuel. Now today he tried to take off from the same road and crashed into a 18 wheeler. Talk about pushing your luck. It should be on the newswire sometime today.

 

[say again]

Gotta love it!!!:laugh:

 

[xdrvr]

Poor guy, think someone's tryin' to tell him something. Hope to heck he's gettin' out of aviation before he kills one of us!

here's a link to the video of the failed takeoff, http://www.wafb.com/Global/story.asp?S=4038264

Aww, man. Talk about misjudging. I'd hardly classify that as a crash, he'd hardly started rolling.

Yes, he apparently clipped a mirror off the 18-wheeler parked off to the right side of the road. Why didn't he have the 18-wheeler and the fire truck move first?

Tsssk, tsssk.



Another human capable of mistakes. I'm so glad WE'RE not human, too.

Howabout this one:

18+ years ago, I made an engine out landing in a 172, due to a pushrod tube seal coming loose and all the oil blew out.

Fixed that problem, but 2 weeks later, it did it again, only this time with my father was at the controls and further from the AP (10-15 mi), so he flies it until he throws a rod, but makes it to a highway.

Calls a mechanic to come take the wings off and tow it in and leaves it on the side of the highway with the highway patrol.

The mechanic gets a couple of young guys to do that, but instead...they pour 8 quarts in it and take off.

They made it the distance, but threw a hole in the side of the engine 3" in diameter.



The new engine ran like a champion........

 

[say again]

That is just plain stupid!!!!!:smash:

It's just like Office Space... the more times you watch it, the more hilarious it gets!

 

[BLing]

What an idiot....He deserves to be made a fool of on TV for being such a retard....Pull his ticket and keep him out of the sky!

BLing, if there is not a Flightinfo rule against that avatar, I'm going to lobby for one...

Ugh..uke:

 

[Way2Broke]

Man what a TOOL.

 

[Lead Sled]

Quick, get that guy a blank NASA report form!

Usally I try to give guys a bit of slack. Not him.

'Sled

 

[hobbsmeter]

The sad thing is that he's probably gonna sue the operator of the 18 wheeler and the emergency vehicle!

 

[pilotmiketx]

Hitting those trucks probably saved him from hitting power lines down the road. I seriously hope he gives it up for good. Not only does he excercise very very very poor judgement, but apparently he lacks stick and rudder skills and maybe depth perception.

I didn't know Unanswered's grandfather lived in Louisiana....

 

[DisPatchThis]

All we need in the background of that video to be the music of "mr discount airline pilot guy" "mr discount airline pilot guy takes a vacation" :beer:

 

[100LL... Again!]

What a jerk!

It's idiots like him that are ruining aviation for all of us.

When I meet a competent pilot who is getting screwwwd by his insurance company, know why I get mad? Jerks like this.

The solution to the ills of aviation is to start weeding these people out of the system.



Anyone want to predict the FAA's response?

Even funnier:

I would LOVE to be a fly on the wall when this guy gets home. Imagine him trying to get his wife back into a plane with him again.

 

[flyinlow67]

Probably one of those guys that won't listen to anything you say, because they know it all. You know, the "I've been flying for 20 years" jerkoffs. What they don't tell you, is that it was maybe once a month for 20 years, with several 6 month lapses thrown in.
Dangerous

nah didnt do it. it loads then stops

 

[xdrvr]

Ya she'll never ride with him again in ANYTHING... of course they do say the best pilots are the worst drivers.. so maybe the worst pilots are the best drivers, but then again a mechanic told me that, you'll have to consider the source haha.. he was probably just jealous:]

 

[RightPedal]

He's probibly one of those that see it as nothing money can't fix. He'll probably get a kingair after the insurance settles.

I got one thats even worse...

One day, shortly after I started my lessons, I walk up to the desk at the FBO to pay for the day's lesson...

The girl at the desk is talking with one of the instructors...

Turns out a crazy woman had tried to land, struck the prop on the runway (which everybody heard), somehow perfomed a go-around, successfully landed, taxied in, tied down and went in to the FBO...

She asked that the plane be topped off with fuel and oil, that she was leaving soon...

The desk girl says wait a minute, you just had a prop strike...the engine has to be torn down and the prop overhauled.

Crazy woman goes Can that be done by this afternoon?

Desk girl says nooo...that is a major operation...it will take a while

Just goes to show that some people have more money than brains...it is also a little frightning...

No, I don't know if she was a blond...

 

[RightPedal]

Two friends, a blonde and a redhead, are walking down the street and
pass an flower shop where the redhead saw her boyfriend buying flowers.
The redhead sighed and said,
"Oh, crap, my boyfriend is buying me flowers again."
The blonde looked quizzically at her and said,
"You don't like getting flowers from your boyfriend?"
The redhead said,
"I love getting flowers, but he always has expectations after giving me flowers, and I just don't feel like spending the next three days on my back with my legs in the air."
The blonde says, "Don't you have a vase?"

Apparently this plane has a history of hitting vehicles on the ground.
