Bonehead Bush Pilot Video

This video is utterly hilarious. Bit of a big download.

Seems like the fellow wrecked another two aircraft within a year of this accident.

Proves the crashworthiness of a Maule...

Utterly fantastic clip!

Love the screen title for the chap who "earned .08 airmiles"!!!

OK, this was before the morning coffee...
when I read the title I thought is was
"bonehead Bush" as in George Bush..

Funny video anyways..

What an ar$sehole! You'd think he'd be really careful about the climb-out after having clipped the tree on the way in...!

Great video!

Ah, but: "...the wind decreased to zero during the takeoff...", Andy

NTSB info here. (OK, I admit to being sad looking it up - but Googling takes the mind off yet more $%^%£ turkey sandwiches )

His two other accident reports from 1995/6, as quoted on suprcub.org, also indicate that the pilot noted wind changes on take-off.

QDM, thanks for mentioning supercub.org, which also has this video: Grumman Goose accident

The background to the accident is also on that site; the footage even made it into a movie called "Endless Summer II"

Still has a ring to it if you say it a couple of times..
