airnow crash

"He had close to 3,000 hours flying time. He had previous experience with Gulfstream International Airlines," he said.

Doh. . .

RIP.
 
Thanks for the link. I know UPS uses Airnow but we don't flying into Binghamton, so it must have been for someone else.

Anyhow, since it was just a freighter, it's not big news. It took years after TCAS was mandated in pax airplanes for freighters to have it. No significant loss of life....
 
surreal1221 and wheelsup you guys are such idiots.
This is no joke, its a persons life we're talking about, not your little bashing games.

RIP To the pilot
 
Bro I don't know if you've realized it but Gulfstream grads crash airplanes. They brought down that Pinnacle CRJ, a Mesa Beech 1900D and it looks like one of their golden boys crashed this Airnow plane.

Now I've got to give the guy some credit; Airnow is a HORRIBLE company that is pretty well known for killing pilots. All that being said it's too bad this happened.
 
4 crashes in a year and a half is NOT a good record.

If you want to fly freight in the northeast go to Wiggins, The FedEx feeder.

DE, As far as feed goes they also contract with DHL. At least I have seen a couple of DHL trucks pull up to their planes in BGR.

Sadly, I don't think that the parents, relatives, and friends of the pilot, would agree with you.

I don't quite think that is what he meant. I think he meant that the fact it was "just a freighter" and "only killed the pilot" the story was going to be treated in that manner. Seeing his other posts, I doubt he was trying to trash the pilot, just trash the perception and reaction the media and others may have of this story.

Yeah and Riddle pilots were involved with 2 winter accidents this past year....so i guess we need to stomp on them too. Have you read all of the facts into the Pinnacle crash our do you just want to hate Gufstream that much......bro

Wow kid. . . relax. Did you miss the RIP?

You jump to conclusions this quickly in the Navy, and you will have issues.

So let me know what you think was a joke, and I'll correct you.

Simply quoting a statement from the write-up, and saying doh doesn't exactly project a joke in my book.

I took your comment as a negative slant as well, so if it were your intent not to do, you failed from my perspective.

A person lost their life probably doing what the majority of the people on this forum enjoy. . .flying. It's tragic and it bodes negatively to our profession regardless of the company, the airplane, or where the pilot received training.

My condolences to the family.

Can you explain, in detail, how the pilot's experience at a different airline had anything to do with the Mesa crash? :confused:
 
A pilot buys his job from Gulfstream at 250 hours, is a gear monkey for another 250 hours and doesn't really learn anything. Then moves over to 9E where he's paired with another Gulfstream guy and they crash a CRJ while operating it outside of it's limitations while in the wrong seat.

If that isn't a string of bad decisions I don't know what is.

The pilot of the Mesa 1900 crash was female.

You show your ignorance on the subject by saying that. A accident is not caused by one thing, it is a chain of many factors. They took the CRJ to its limit but not past it. Did the people feeding you this BS tell you that the accident also has found faults in training and the CRJ procedures and checklists?
 
I just plain old don't like generalizing when we insist on bashing what we love to bash...
