150 Emergency Landing in Peachtree City (FFC)

Murdoughnut said:
Don't these usually start with us praising the great emergency landing, and end with a prelim showing empty tanks or something?

I think the pats on the back wouldn't come as quickly if her name was Punjab, she looked like Gully, and she'd be in the right seat of an A320 in two weeks.

Yeah, imma save the accolades until the report shows there was fuel getting to the engine and oil in the sump. Not because I'm sexist, but because pilots are generally idiots.

* sure glad I've never heard of a bucking bar being found in a wing of a 206. Hmmm...
Or auto part used in place of approved aviation yellow tagged items.
Or an Oil cover on a GE CF34 open, after being signed off.
Or panels not latched closed
Or batteries not connected
 
First post here...

There was another picture showing the piston after the jug was pulled. Looks like it ate a valve and didn't live long to tell about it. I'll see if I can find it.

Hey, I never said mechanics weren't idiots. Just that pilots are.

I would have thought Av Girl would have been the first in this thread to comment and praise. Evidence continues to mount ;)

Why would I need to praise that? Why is it so fascinating that girls can do that? Pilots come in many forms. It quickly turned into more comments about what she looked like and if she fit visual standards, and other tasteless comments. We don't say things like that about the guys. Why is it okay for guys to say stuff like that about us? Be respectful.

You missed the point. Women in aviation at least at the airlines are still rare, depending on the airline about 5%-7%. Seeing someone do a pretty good job and walking away from it is a good thing. Regardless of male or female, it's the fact you claim to be who you are, and with 500+ posts in one month. Your start is like the new General Lee of FI.

Funny how stuff like that happens each and every day and yet no one mentions all of those successes. I get that we are a minority in aviation. What I don't get is how it is constantly pointed out, that we have to put up with snarky comments about our appearances or the surprise that we knew what we were doing. Why are there so few of us? Because of crap like that. No one likes to be judged on their accomplishments based on their gender, race or what they look like.

The old saying, "If it bleeds, it leads," can be modified for general aviation to, "If she lives it's local; if she dies it's national." Sad, but that's the nature of the news business.
