BD5B
NTBS posted today fatal BD5B crash in Traverse City, MI on 1 November.
Looked close as thought it might have been Juan trying to fly his bird but was a 'B' not a 'J'. No info on engine, first flight or ????? Big John |

In my opinion that is in bad form John.

When a Fly Baby went down a couple of years ago, I wondered if it was Ron. If I had heard of a BD5_J_ going down, I would wonder if it were Juan. There might have been ill intent in Big John's heart, (to poorly paraphrase a former peanut farmer) but I don't think I see it in the posting. B.S. |

Let me start over.
My condolences to the family of the pilot. It is difficult to properly express ones feelings to the family of pilots who lose their lives in aircraft accidents (especially homebuilts). I'm glad it was not Juan as I hold no personal animosities against him even though I many times don't agree with what he says and his actions. His loss would leave a big hole in the r.a.h. comunity and I have heard him say a few things on the + side when he is not fighting with Chuck. I did look close to make sure it wss not his plane which I consider to only be a normal thing after he has posted so much about this BD5 and that he is going to fly it. No one has posted a follow up with the name of the BD5 pilot, and details of the accident (1000 ft short on final). You don't see many BD5 accidents but there are not a lot flying so statically the accident rate is probably pretty high vs other homebuilts with a lot completed and flying? Since Juan is active in the BD5 comunity, he may come on and give us the details of this accident if no one else does?. All fly safe. Big John Now, does that make everyone happy?

Read it again, Sean, and try to forget that Juan is what he is... I don't see any bad form in *what John wrote* - if you read it alone. If you think John believes Juan is a royal asshole and John would celebrate his untimely death, you might have a point. But that's not here, that I can see, anyway. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ If a BD5 of any sort goes down... it won't ever have Jaun in it. If anyone believes otherwise... What kind of odds are you giving? Barnyard BOb -- wanna buy the Brooklyn Bridge? |

Man those BD5's just don't seem like a good idea. Tiny, high stall speed, tight engine compartment, and the pilot sits right on the bottom of the fuselage. The airplane has been discussed in this group previously and my recollection is that it has a very high fatal accident rate. It's first flight accident rate is also very high. Perhaps Ron Wanttaja can step in with his always meticulous statistical analysis. Corky Scott |
