Whilst we are here though what about the 24 ill children that got airlifted off the moor by the 2 aircraft and the rescue teams over the weekend? I see you didn't want to talk about that. Get off the bus
That's what they were there for and the weather was nice all weekend -do you want them written up for medals or something??
Back to airmanship -
2. The aircraft is heavy as it is carrying a heavy gun, it is also in the downwash of the lead aircraft, running out of power.
so, too close to the lead and too low - poor airmanship again - formation flying isn't rocket science!
3. The lead aircraft has landed short leading to surprise in the second aircraft which is trying to overshoot well before it gets near the toilets.
so the second aircraft was too close and the lead porked his arrival - who are you going to blame for that? The contractors??
This wasn't holes in swiss cheese, this was a poor example of flying skills - what on earth woiuld they have been like in an operational environment, in the dark or poor weather?
Good airmanship is the ability to predict problems and avoid them rather than arriving in a sh*tty mess. A pairs arrival with USL should be absolute bread and butter to junglies.
