I still remember watching the smoke over North Park from the PSA midair collision in 1978.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 70080553 Ireland 08/18/2015 03:22 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Sabreliner is a medium Bizjet. Quoting: Flying Elvii Cessna 172 is a trainer. The usual story of these things is that the fast mover runs down the slow-poke. They come in on a "Long Final" on an IFR flight plan, while the little guy is VFR, doing training or somesuch, and either gets run over by the jet, or turns base in front of it. And if it weren't for the fucking FAA and their billion dollar certification issue.. shit like this could be avoided with a cheap retrofit of something resembling a modern TCAS on the aircraft. The government is killing people.. Any certificated piston prop flying today is still using 1930s technology under the cowl.. its sickening. |
