After watching the pilot clip the tree on landing, and then again on (attempted) takeoff, I forgot what the hunters were shooting. I gotta wonder, who would get on a plane that just lost part of the wing on landing? |

The reindeer won that one. Those guys need to stay home and play their
xBox or something. Give the taxpayers a break. What a bonehead pilot (unless he/she is on RAP of course). What a poor excuse for a Maule driver (I use the term advisedly). Hit trees coming and going, left and right. It's not like the Maule has a finely tapered elliptical tip that's hard to see. It's just a g-damn plank! And they are the same size on both sides! Hell, I've done dumb s--- but at least do it away from the cameras and only be a bonehead once a day. Jeez! Great clip.

What must have been going thru their heads, if anything? After that, they must have loaded the dead reindeer on the Maule (thanx for pointing out the make) with the damaged wing. I'm wondering about the whole weight and balance thing: The one hunter they showed (walking stiffly before the plane strikes a tree the FIRST time) looks like a pretty big guy. Add in their gear, the reindeer carcass, etc. Then add a damaged wing and a snowy field to the equation. I think it adds up to one dumb-ass pilot. I'm gonna try to find the NTSB report on that one. Since no one was injured or killed, I think it will be amusing. |
