I have no vendetta against aviation. Period. It is the inane discussion of avoidable incidents and accidents which really gets my goat.
I have opinions, which others do not like, about the safe, legal and above all the common sense operation of aircraft so as they remain intact and operational, along with the pilots and the general public, so my grand children will be able to appreciate them in the future.
The aircraft I own and fly are nearly 50 years old, so not nearly ready a museum yet. I am aware of the obstructions at the end of my runway and take action accordingly, and at an unfamiliar field, a look-see often helps to identify potential hazards.
With no time on a BF109 I dont know what you can see, I suspect about the same as some other tailwheel types of which I do have some experience.
Posts on this and other forums suggest the poles were there a week beforehand and did not suddenly spring into the flightpath as SP flew over, therefore they were a known obstruction?
As for the Victor, whatever the hows/whys and wherefores, it was an illegal flight, pure and simple. Can you really tell me otherwise?
Thank you for spelling my name correctly, galdri – you are the only one whos managed it so far!
Malcom,
It takes a brave man, with big ******** to voice his (or her) opinions on here, we all have have em. It’s just a shame a lot of people on here talk a lot of ********.
