BringMetheHeadofLeonLett Posted Wednesday at 10:45 PM Posted Wednesday at 10:45 PM In all my life , Ive never seen a military helicopter collide with a passenger plane on FINAL, or a passenger plane get its damn wing ripped off upon landing. But now I've seen both in one week. Any coincidences, like massive stresses and idiotic oversight from some 'undefinable' sources come to mind? 1

sherpa Posted Wednesday at 11:01 PM Posted Wednesday at 11:01 PM Not sure what you are suggesting here, but the accidents are completely unrelated. If you have a point to dispute that, make it.

If you have a point to dispute that, make it. Sure thing! You're a former Navy pilot... and I'm jealous- please tell me you flew the Tomcat!!, and I'm an aircraft owner and private pilot- I don't want to misrepresent myself. But what I see, and this is not a stretch, is a system losing its functionality... or coincidences, but I don't believe that. We have an administration dead-set on dismantling our known norms- Have you ever seen anything like an Army helicopter colliding with a passenger jet on final, or a passenger het rolling over on a landing they should have 'gone 'round'?
sherpa Posted Wednesday at 11:27 PM Posted Wednesday at 11:27 PM Good luck on your aviation wishes. I flew against the F-14 tons of times, as a Pacific Fleet Adversary. The F-18 was multitudes better. Topgun is a cool move, but I never had any serious problem beating the F-14 in a close in "knife fight." Ever. It was designed and employed as a beyond visual range Phoenix missile launcher. I loved fighting it. Two turns and you had it. The FAA screwed up allowing visual operations along the final of runway 33 with civilian ops, who are not as good at looking outside.

I don't have an aviation wish- I got my license at 18 and own a pretty damn cool airplane. The F-18 is a compromise of mediocrity, administered by the typical bull#### of a Dick Cheney type with his supportive cronies. A re-developed F-14, more modern and modular, would wipe any thought of that plane off the history books.

So, have you ever conceptualized Anything like an Army helicopter hitting a civilian plane in Final?? Or a passenger jet, which we both know should have gone around with improper flap deployment, just ***** 'hitting the turf' and rolling around with a shattered wing. Now why would any of that happen? Idiots keeping things on schedule is my main culprit- yours?

And ultimately, we need the F-14's range. People don't know this, but the Tomcat literally kept our planet out of nuclear war. Sure, not the best dogfighter in its original form due to engines, size and whatever the hell, but there's no way to think anything beyond the truth that that airplane literally kept Russian nuclear armaments thousands of miles away from the United States, singlehandedly. You know this aircraft had a very particular role, correct? Edited Thursday at 12:31 AM by BringMetheHeadofLeonLett

You say things that really, just ultimately, don't matter. You, literally, just don't know anything about what you are commenting upon. It's pretty ***** obvious in this particular case. Maybe, because you have an obvious political agenda, just thumbs up something Sherpa says, if he replies?

So these are the sorts of planes that I fly, single engine land, and both the Lancair and Cessna are fantastic airplanes in their own way. It's just ***** sad and pathetic that our leadership is out to demolish proper standards of everything. 1

People like to blame dei, but I haven't seen anyone post any evidence and that is just the lazy man's uninformed opinion. I am no expert on this subject. I don't like to fly much anymore, mostly because I don't like dealing with airports. My favorite show is air disasters. The only thing I have to say is even tho people like to say how safe air travel is it took me over a year or watching that show before I saw a repeat. And on cable TV that show was on more than once a week.
