and reconciling the numbers will not reverse the tragedy.
but might stop it happening again.
In fact, my personal opinion is that regardless of which numbers are actually true, the pilot had plenty experience in what he was doing. I honestly don't care whether that experience was 1000 hours or 2700 hours or some other number. It was not his inexperience in flying that caused the tragedy, but a mechanical defect.
And that is the point. Its already clear that there have been a variety of false statements in entry forms and its clear that none of the people running this machine have very much in the way of quantifying the testing which is a requirement to find such defects in an environment that shouldn't have killed a bunch of others.
Like DAR said, I'm very interested in the aerodynamics, flutter, oscillations and other factors that caused the trim tab to separate.
Having some wet dream over the technology of it all is only addressing half of the problem. Since Leeward took over this Mustang even his FAA documentation becomes a shambles.
Me neither. Reno is its own world to some degree, and will remain that way. Paraphrasing the advertisement "What happens in Reno, stays in Reno." Yes, it is the wild west. Precisely that, better for it, and intransigently so. Get used to it.
This just sums up the retarded view held by those that are aged 12.
Much the same as the Isle of Man for motorcycle racing, actually.
No its not because had he tried to enter the TT his entry would have been rejected as he would have been too old to hold a race licence.
