With all due respect fellahs, I think it is a little disingenuous to accuse somebody on final approach that their lookout is lacking. We aren't talking about turning final, but into final. When's the last time you kept a left to right sky scan going at 350' off the deck with the associated turbulence (and LK can be a little bumpy on the way down for 25)? It just isn't a realistic proposition. The other pilot was 100% bang in the wrong, and in this regard Girdler has done nothing to require personal reflection of the event.
