I scrapped that x-country flight due to weather I will attempt it again in
the near future.

I thought you left.

That's a shame.

A tiny minority (posters) of a tiny minority (usenet users) of a tiny
minority (pilots) just got even smaller.

Blue skies, my friend!

Yes, unfortunately, the Usenet loudmouths and bullies win again.

So, which group of bullies do you mean? NW pilot cross posted to ALL the
rec.avaiton *.* groups.
Sure he got bullied because his post had all resemblances of a classic
dumbass.

Darwinism at its best! (speeling be damned)

personally, i've always had kind of a creepy feeling when someone posts
that they're not going to post anymore. why not just stop posting and
be done with it? too much "it's all about me" for my taste but that's
just me.

overall, i think nw has added a lot to these groups; pushed some
really valuable discussions and added to my understanding and
enjoyment. do i agree with him about everything? no, but then i don't
agree with myself about everything.

i know nw was enjoying throwing a cat over the fence by shaking the
"non-aerobatic" at the dogs. lotsa good stuff came out but some of it
was over the top. i thought "that airframe is now worth zero" was
especially good and of course "i'm gunna tell mama" won the prize.
somebody needs to hold that boy down and feed him some worms.

anyway, nw, why don't you just do what everybody else does; change
your name and come back in??

Yes, I was thinking much the same,

The airframe comment was a little over the top, but performing
aerobatics in an airplane not designed for it certainly increases the
risk of causing irreparable airframe damage.

I think the person who turned him in to the FSDO, assuming it wasn't
just a bluff, did the most responsible thing of anyone here. It is very
important to police our ranks. This not only helps prevent accidents,
but it helps us all preserve our flight privileges and not have them
legislated away. Organizations that don't police themselves often find
someone else, usually a government bureacracy, more than willing to do
it for them. The latter is almost always a bad thing.

We aren't talking about turning someone in for making an honest mistake,
we're talking someone who knowingly and willingly violated the law and
then had the nerve to brag about it. This isn't the sort of person we
should desire to have in our ranks.

Not everyone else; just the cowards.

One thing I don't get ... why are we blaming NW? Yeah he's a bit of a dork
for bragging about it, but didn't he do that roll with a CFI present?
Wasn't that CFI presumably encouraging if not directing that behavior?

If I were the FSDO, I would give NW a stern lecture about who to trust, then
send him on his way. Then I would suspend the CFI's flying and instructing
certs, and consider criminal charges against him. He's the one who violated
the trust of his student and the government that certified him to instruct.

I've not followed NW's background, and never quite got whether or not he was
a student pilot flying with a CFI when this incident occurred. My
understanding is that he owns a 150, but the one used for the roll wasn't
his. I also understand that there was a CFI in the airplane.
If NW is certificated, it's bad enough, but if he is indeed a student, the
CFI should be grounded immediately. Had this instructor worked for me , he
would never set foot in one of my airplanes ever again.
