I had heard in the past soemwhere that the 0-2's were ferried across the pond on one engine. THis seems to speak to that point. With 150 gal, at 130Kts, you get about 1800NM on one fill up, and...

You wouldn't use spoilers or speed brakes from a starting altitude of 1400' in a "watch this" dive. You would use them in a controlled descent from altitude to avoid overspeed. I am not familiar with...

I was discussing this today with a friend who is a chief metallurgist for P&W, and he mentioned something that puts this into perspective, ie. apparently the bobsleds running at the olympics are...

In fact isn't the whole idea behind a screaming dive down to the runway with a last minute pull up, done in a manner to exert G-forces on the passengers? It's like a roller coaster ride.

A 4500lb car travelling at 180 mph experiences a 20G force if stopped in 50'. Now granted the accident aircraft did not "initially" stop in 50', but instead apparently changed his vetor angle at the...

The math would be as follows: He decended from 1400msl to 600 msl in a left bank and accelerated 23 kts from the beginning top of his decending dive as noted on radar. It started at 148deg - at...

I am a bit confused by the VFR arrival to Mun n Fun. The notam states that we can basically choose our altitude (100 kts 1200MSL) or (150kts at 1700msl) so that's pure choice. But then it goes on to...

NY preliminary NTSB

So far this appears to be the classic example of why you never want to be in an airplane where the last thing heard by the pilot was "watch this".

Might I just say (and please others correct me) but isn't 90mph on final with full flaps a bit fast for that much flap. I could see it over the numbers, but I've never liked full flaps and a lot of...

Terrible . Hard to surmise what happened at this point, because of all the different info from witnesses. Some say the plane was going very fast which doesn't sound right for a take off. But the gear...
