I certainly don't wish to appear callous concerning this event, particularly due to the seriousness of the event, and aware that I wasn't in the airplane during this misadventure that caused the pilot to punch out, but in view of the astounding condition of the airplane that "self landed" itself, I am reminded of Bob Hoover's statement concerning airplane "accidents". "If it's not on fire and no significant portion of the airplane is missing, fly it into the crash". Just saying!

Don't wish to seem callous considering the seriousness of this event, but it seems odd that the airplane seems to have "landed" itself with astoundingly little damage overall. I realize I wasn't in the airplane so have NO idea as to why the pilot punched out, but it would seem to me, following Bob Hoover's advice, that in this situation (no fire, and no significant part of the airplane missing)why didn't he fly it into the crash? Just saying.

Jesus! It's spelled "FLEDGED". Apparently your LA schooling is still in control of your ability to butcher the language. It would appear that THRUSTT & I shall have to pick up the gauntlet & become your human thesaurus and dictionary. BTW: The term esq. usually is reserved by individuals to denote their membership to the bar. Are you?

Ahhh yes, the Everglades. I was a flight engineer with Eastern a hundred years ago & Eastern did a lot of air work over the Glades. We were in a 7 @ 2:00am over the Glades, checking out a new co-pilot from the Navy & we went into a crossfeed problem & lost all 4 engines at 6000 feet. Really gets quiet.

I would inquire, If I may, just where exactly are you registered as an ATP?

Where, if I may ask, are you registered as an ATP?

Ah yes! Another couple of million bucks that idiot & family spends for yet another day in the sun, and social security recipients haven't had a cost of living increase in 2 years. Where's the impeachment process??????
