Ashley P Posted September 19, 2023 Author Share Posted September 19, 2023 I've been watching old Reno air race stuff. One interesting thing I learned was that the modified Mustang that crashed killing 10 people in 2011 is calculated to have pulled 17 Gs when it's trim tab came off. I did not realize the airframe was so strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A plane on a runway without permission, collision kills 5. https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/police-probe-possible-negligence-tokyo-runway-collision-2024-01-03/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley P Posted 1 hour ago Author Share Posted 1 hour ago One came over here very low last week. A buddy is a former Nat Guard Blackhawk pilot. One night we were talking cars and about 5 choppers came over pretty low. Only the leader had ANY light, just a small red marker light. He said they were Apaches. That was pretty neat.
