I have no disrespect for the man or the CAP, but I'm curious as to
what,
in your opinion, was the cause of those poor souls losing their
lives?

I don't care to speculate because too many variables exist to make any
sort
of meaningful determination. It's quite possible that Lt. Col
Henderson
encountered conditions that few pilots could have ever recovered.
Mountain
flying is hazardous under the best of conditions, and they certainly
didn't
have the best of conditions that day. Sparky Imeson crashed just a few
months ago while giving instruction. That sure as hell doesn't mean
that
Mr. Haas is a better, more competent, more experienced, or smarter
pilot
than he is simply because he has never faced similar consequences,
although
I'm sure he might argue otherwise using his distorted logic.

Straight from the NTSB report.. Mike seems to have overlooked this
very important part. During my first few hours of flight training,
gathering weather info was foremost in being able to perform a safe
and uneventful flight.... Any one flying in the mountians is even more
sensitive to this.


NTSB .The pilot of the aircraft that located the initial fire
noted that
there were "high winds and surface friction causing turbulence."
There
was no record of the pilot obtaining a weather briefing from the FAA
Flight Service Station or the Direct User Access Terminal System
(DUATS).


My distorted logic concludes he didn't do what any low time pilot
would have.. Check the friggin WEATHER !!!!!!

How do you know he DIDN'T check the weather, Benny? FSS or DUATs might be
the official source, but thousands of pilots every day use other sources for
their information, especially during August of 2007 when many locations had
TWO HOUR HOLD TIMES to get through to a FSS briefer, assuming they could get
through at all. Clearly according to the NTSB report Lt. Col Henderson was
well aware of the TFR which means he was getting his information from
somewhere. If you were smart enough to read more NTSB reports, you'd find a
very large percentage of them have the exact same statement. That doesn't
even begin to mean that you're more competent, more experienced, or a better
pilot (as you allege) than all of them. You sure are a dumb oaf for someone
who claims to be smarter than everyone else, Benny.


I am not wasting any more time explaining the facts that are on record
to Mike. Altho that is probably not his real name. Just by clicking on
the view profile box that shows up on my google usenet reader is shows
he visited some computer areas. No where is the name Mike showing up.

Probably because you're too stupid to realize your hi-tech google usenet
reader keys on the email field for the profile which means that anyone using
the generic "nospam@ microsoft.com" in the email field would show up in that
profile. You sure are a dumb oaf for someone who claims to be smarter than
everyone else, Benny.


over and OUT.

Ben.

Hey , thats my real name too.

No doubt. That's because you choose to spam most of your replies with the
web site of your half-fast business, Benny, so it wouldn't make much sense
for you to do anything differently now would it?
