'Engine was running rough on taxi, so he thought he'd take it UP and check

That's the St Croix River on the map (border between MN and WI). When a boat
is running rough, or we're on a shakedown "cruise" ...we always head
upstream, first. <g>

And, the pilots name was...Dr. Dumbass, I presume?

Wow. Talk about bass-ackwards...

Although I suppose it depends on what they mean by "running rough" --
but it sure points out the fact that it's better to trouble-shoot on
the ground.

That's duMAS...

At least he had the foresight to land gear up. That looks like an unusually
long skid for a belly landing. I guess the snow lowered the ground drag.

Yes, he handled the emergency well enough (or he got lucky). Of course, the
whole situation was easily avoidable.

Geez, yes; there's, what, ground test, static test, bench test, and flight
test. Four options and he picked the worst one possible.

Hmmm, too bad I didn't have the right plug in for the video to
work...and too lazy at the moment to fix it. Ah, I would have only seen
the barn, not the boat. Not quite the same thing but, hey, thanks for
the thought :-) I'm sure the boat be non-prop less someday.

My (default) FireFox doesn't have the plug-in loaded, either.

I copy/paste/open in IE for videos from this particular TV station. That
works for me.

You need to load the IE View extension for Firefox. Right click and
"Open this page in IE" One of the "must have" Firefox extensions.

When I do something that turns out to be a really bad idea like this...
I only hope no one gets on TV to broadcast my misguided thought process.
It makes my story to the FAA harder to fabricate.

PS: still hoping I can blame my forthcoming groundloop on a locked brake

that is only viewable by IE or Nutscrape?

[Flyingmonk]

The video saids the FAA is investigating what caused te crash. LOL
That should be a quicky eh?

Probably not what people here want to hear, but the REALLY stupid thing
for the pilot to do was tell anyone that story.
