TNX, Rouli, we dinosaurs needed that!
I joined the old farts after the AF447 accident because I have always been interested in an accident involving a FBW aircraft. Being in the "charter members" of the first operational aircraft with full FBW, I felt I could both learn and contribute. I have my engineer diploma and then a lot of hours in real planes, and remember there's no such thing as a "dumb fighter pilot".
We may have to search the archives, but I suggested early on once the wreckage pattern was shown that it seemed the thing hit in a classic "deep stall". Turned out it wasn't quite that simple, but humans and not the aero characteristics of the jet caused the crash.
I continue to value the contributions and experience of the old farts when they post on these forums.
