When pilots get a little too comfortable
things go bad...check out the damage to the wing towards the end of the vid. Could have been alot worse. Wonder how the pilot explained this one...

Re: When pilots get a little too comfortable
obviously it was too foggy to see outside, so what was the pilot staring at? apparently none of his equipment!

Re: When pilots get a little too comfortable
They should beat the dents out of the wing with the pilot's face, then prep it for paint with the "co" pilot's.
Plus....not too many people get to film their last moments alive  Unbelievably stupid and lucky. Hope they get their tickets yanked permanently. Earle |

Re: When pilots get a little too comfortable
stupid. -glad thats everybody is alive.
If he had learned something with getting his license he would not have done the flight under that conditions in this way (well... in the vid you could think hes only aloud to fly VFR...but then he should know hes not allowed to fly in those conditions...). Chris |

Re: When pilots get a little too comfortable
the fact that someone would post an incredibly stupid lack of judgment says it all for the pilot. that guy should never be able to fly again. imho
