The Weekend Today Show
Just finished watching the segment where they had Byron Bailey on there explaining about the effects of turbulence (among other things) on an aircraft. Right at the end he said he could tell exactly what happened with the Hawker Hunter crash in the UK because he'd flown one. Hmmm.....

Altimeters, apparently his new title is The Resident Aviation Expert for the Today show. Well we all know the definition of the term expert, don't we?!

Aside from a little bit of poetic licence he was quite animated and entertaining. My wife even said she liked his leather jacked complete with 4 gold bars per shoulder. Good viewing for the average punter. As for the Hunter, this guy is an ex fighter pilot with time on type so he'd certainly be knowledgable.

This guy is a joke. So glad I missed it, as I would have thrown a chair through my TV probably if i'd seen him crap on again.

Geez you guys are wankers. You get Geoffrey Thomas on tele expousing opinions and he's called a total ****** 'cause he's done nothing and has no credibility
You then get a guy on tele who has all sorts of experience and credibility, and guess what, he's a ****** too.
Tell me DF - are you and F.Nose the only guys who could give the public an opinion and NOT be wankers.
Team Australia at its best.

This guys alright. At least he knows what he's talking about.
What would you prefer? Someone equally knowledgeable who doesn't like the limelight and is as boring as batsh1t?
