Video of my friends buzzing a Moscow highway

Missed me, eh? Just got permission from my friends to publish this video of
them (stupid idiots!) buzing a highway just outside of Moscow, Russia in a
PZL Wilga-35 along with their wives(!) on the backseat

Around here we have power lines to prevent that sort of thing. Of course,
anybody can do it once.

Looking forward to seeing them in the Darwin Awards in the near future.

Hope all is well.

Welcome back!

I can't believe you sent this video to YouTube instead of us! Since
you've been gone, our hotel site has grown into the largest collection
of aviation videos on the internet, with over 300 of them. See
http://www.alexisparkinn.com/aviation_videos.htm

Your friend's video would make an excellent addition to the site, as an
example of what NOT to do. How large is the file?

Yep. True genius there. That kind of display usually precipitates a
slamming. (a nod to our resident troll)
Just got the email about the East River (NYC) TFR. We all knew it was
coming, right? As tragic as the loss of two lives was, unfortunately
every time something like this happens we all look like idiots. All
over something that was completely preventable.

You know what I just realized? They didn't even kill anyone but
themselves, and GA is STILL in the wrong. How does that happen?

I (and probably Phil Boyer) would love to know how an accident like
this (regardless of who's killed) can be spun to put GA in the "right."

I guess my point was that they didn't even kill anyone who wasn't in the
plane and everyone's still screaming about how dangerous GA is. This is
going to come out wrong, but as long as we just kill ourselves, why does
the general population even care? Hell, drunk drivers probably kill
more bystanders in one week than GA does in a decade.

Not sure that it could. Doing something dumb in a car doesn't have the
same potential consequences (normally) as doing something dumb in an
airplane.

I'm wondering if there is any data of aircraft crashes that killed
people on the ground compared to accidents that killed passenger and
crew only.
