BREAKING: Micron CEO dies in plane crash.

Die rich fuckers, die!

Guidens chip for avionics... :)

um... if it was his 3rd crash in a corporate jet being piloted by a veteran pilot, I might be suspicious. However, the first paragraph of the article states that he died in "a small, experimental fixed-wing plane he was piloting."

This is just another sad story. No conspiracy. Move along.

He is one of the reasons you are able to post on this board.
But hey, kill all smart people, right?

I used to buy a lot of Micron products when I worked, they had a very high customer rating, and some of the nicest support staff personnel.
A sad day in Boise.

Exaggerate much?

Smell no rotten dog in denmark here. he just had a bad day.

Rofl.
Calm down there, grand master of supreme thought.
Don't waste your time on that petty bug. Use your thinking cap to save us from poverty, war, etc.

Hell yeah!
He was the guy who sold Iran the way to hack the drone avionics-chip. You know that drone Iran now sell as a action-figure-toy....

You're a fuckstank!!!

hehe... Glad you like it.

Just after an air traffic controller instructs another plane to taxi onto the runway for takeoff, Appleton, with an audible sense of urgency in his voice radios the tower, “321 Lima Charlie, I’d like to turn back in, and uhh, land. Coming back in.”

The air traffic controller begins to respond, only to be drowned out by people yelling expletives in the background, apparently while witnessing Appleton’s plane going down. The controller himself is heard uttering “oh shi…” just before his mic cuts off.

A few seconds later, the controller tells the plane on the runway that his takeoff clearance is cancelled, while a woman in the background is heard crying, “oh god, oh god.”

Appleton was a respected pilot who performed aerobatic acts at airshows. He owned several aircraft according to the FAA database.


Sounded like he lost power in the initial climb from takeoff. This airplane was a 4 seat, 6 cylinder turbo prop 350hp. Yes it is home built (most likely by a pro builder hired as a contractor) but these are as good as any other aircraft out here.

Very unfortunate to hear.

Here's something odd, last night I had a dream where I ran across a plane dealership (like a car dealership) and I was fixated on buying this little plane that looked exactly like a Mini-Coop with wings, was sleek...

...I saw this story on Drudgereport today and thought, that's weird..."Micron".."Micro"..plane crash, the little plane in my dream and I was asking the salesman, "just how safe is this little plane"?...

weird

Did you know that if you are a pilot, and you successfully survive a plane crash, that your insurance premiums actually go DOWN. No shit. I know a guy who has crashed in a helicopter twice and a cesna-type plane once and his premiums are actually lower than other pilots with the same flight experience who haven't crashed. Live pilots pay premiums. Dead pilots' families get payouts.

Ironically, this was right after the thread about the US drone crashing in Somalia when I posted.

6 cylinder turbo prop?

Probably would have made it with the v-8 turbo prop.
lol.

And I think you have to announce you are an experimental aircraft in radio transmissions, if I recall correctly. But awesome fake transcript, otherwise.

If any of you fucks could read, he died in a small experimental plane. It was his hobby.
