Some bonehead at 2000 feet in a C-150 tried to T-bone me in the left door... if I had one. He missed vertically by 25 feet or 30 feet. Classic case of head in the cockpit??? .... Everyone - not only keep your head out of the cockpit, but on a very active swivel. The other guy may not looking out for you.....or even himself.

Splat! wrote in message news:3Lkvb.449584$9l5.204811@pd7tw2no... http://www.planecrashinfo.com/lastwords.htm Don't know about the rest of you, but I find that site in particularly poor taste. I'm not sure. After all there is a clause "CAUTION, MAY BE DISTURBING" well highlighted right upon entry. Maybe like adult content sites there ought to be a 'click to consent' before really entering And also, people wanting to learn from other people's errors can learn a lot here But to serve that purpose first the site should be organised differently 1) date, aircraft, brief story 2) full story 3) analysis (possibly biased) 4) official reports 5) recordings Each line on that page is clickable and takes you to a page with some of the information above, and a longer transcript of the last communications. -- FF |

I always get a charge from the photo of the two pilots turned around for their photograph whith the Baron visible in the windshiled behind them. Although the photo is contrived, it still gives me the shivers. Roger Halstead ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ If that gives you shivers..... You should have been in my RV-3 on Saturday. Some bonehead at 2000 feet in a C-150 tried to T-bone me in the left door... if I had one. He missed vertically by 25 feet or 30 feet. Classic case of head in the cockpit??? Many, many, many...and so on...years ago in another life, far, far away....(and I've probably told this story on here at least a dozen times, but I don't remember any so it's all new to me) I was landing the Piper Colt on 36 and Midland Barstow (3BS). I probably had 5 or 6 hours in by then and could actually land the Colt unassisted (most of the time). At that time 18/36 was only paved south of the intersection with 06/24 which is about 900 feet. It's about as close to the express way as it can get and still have a road run between them. Basically you are no more than 300 feet coming over US-10 and usually no more than 200. As we were passing over US-10 I caught a flash out the corner of my right eye and had an image of rivets out the left window. A Comanche was flying the express way at low altitude and passed directly under us. He was actually past us before either of us jumped. All I can tell is it had the maroon and white paint and the top of the tail was really shiny. The top of the vertical stabilizer passed between the nose gear and the main gear. I'd guess it was less than 6 inches below the bottom of the Colt's fuselage. (maybe less) Now, figure the timing to get that tail between the gear on the Colt while we were moving at 90 degrees to his flight path. You'll have to fix the return add due to dumb virus checkers, not spam Roger Halstead (K8RI & ARRL life member) (N833R, S# CD-2 Worlds oldest Debonair?) www.rogerhalstead.com A couple of weeks ago, nearly identical situation. However, I saw that perpetrator coming early on. Like this dude, he took no evasive action at any time. Flying low is not for me anymore, but not much way to avoid this crowed airspace when transitioning from cross-country to landing or takeoff. Everyone - not only keep your head out of the cockpit, but on a very active swivel. The other guy may not looking out for you.....or even himself.

Other than dad's computer, which is more fun for you.... pulling wings off of live grasshoppers or setting cats on fire with gasoline? BOb - be kind to animals - U.
