Pilot Killed on 2nd Leg of Round the World Flight

[WacoFan]

Yes, there is a deaf pilot association. And CI's can be given a medical. But nobody with a CI has flown a Taperwing under the Arch. Inverted.

Stepping out of the norm will not only be questioned but also punished once discovered. Unproductive behavior is forbidden. If you want to enjoy airplanes buy a ticket and ride the scheduled transport. I seem to recall a couple of books regarding this sort of dystopian future but the names escape me...

There are dead pilots, a Cochlear Implant may be possible.

Wait, it appears that it can be done depending on some conditions:

There are a lot of dead pilots!

IVs are spicy but very capable airplanes that demand your full attention. I know of exactly one person that recovered from a spin- during their transition training, it took around 12,000’ to recover iirc. most do not recover.

I don’t get the drive to be the first (insert country/race) to do (insert thing). Who cares, honestly. It’s America. Pilots are black, brown, white, etc.

Aviation is where it’s at today because people used to do those things.

Yes. But it’s been done though

You got me. Womp, womp.

Let’s make it happen. Is this going to be a Netflix special or YouTube Premium ?

Obviously not all of them.

100%

Sounds like a Jessica Dubroff crash.



RIP to this lady

You don’t have to prove anything to anybody.

Another accident, another instance where you have everything figured out.

Just incredible, is there anything you don’t know? Any topic you aren’t an expert on?

 

[Malko]

Ok, time out.

You’ve made your brand, unfortunately, about disruption of various topics and turning the spotlight on yourself.

People’s reaction to your saying anything ranging from innocent to blithely sardonic is a product of your branding you continue to reinforce.

We already know that they’ve never been an instructor, never flown the type, no formal education or experience in accident investigation but have it all figured out.

Anywho… I saw the woman’s booth at Oshkosh, she had a decent crowd around it and certainly seemed like many people were interested in her endeavors.

Wow, I taught her several years back during her stint at my company

 

[Box hauler]

Nah. It takes a certain mindset to want to go around the world solo. News flash, it’s already been done before. Numerous times.

Wiley Post. After that, it’s irrelevant. Now it’s just ego or hubris wanting to join “the club.”

Everest has been climbed too, people still do it though. You can be such a brick wall sometimes.

I propose, as part of the sponsorship deal (buying me a Taperwing, etc), that @derg be given the rights to monetize anyway he sees fit. Perhaps a Netflix limited series? Perhaps with Diane Lane as my love interest? I'm fairly certain there's at least a 75% chance I get killed off in the last episode, but if not then we could negotiate for a season 2.

This was as much about taking a shot at a minority trying to bring attention to her ethnicity and gender as about piloting.

I’m sure they’ve been taking victory laps over her passing on the social media he consumes. Which of course, he doesn’t participate in, just happens to always know what’s being said.

Just checking, this wasn't C5, was it?

I think this is a different individual, but we had an eerily similar person there that had soloed around the world in a Cirrus.

That was Julie Wang. And let me tell you, that chick absolutely sucked. I did some of her training and it was rough.

I provided one flight lesson to her, and uh, all I’m going to say is that she did not return.
