So, I just saw that my plane crashed

87. Your premise contradicts the body of your post.

You say:

you haven't got the faintest idea of what you are talking about.

In then in the body text, you say:

I will agree that some younger aviator's stick and rudder skills are not as good as those of past generations.

Your agreement with me about the lack pilotage skills reveals that you do believe I have more that the 'faintest' idea.

I earned my Commercial License in 1969, and have been a lifelong aviation enthusiast.
Most of my time has been in high performance aerobatic sport craft.
I loved snap rolling on top of loops.

I have also closely watched commercial aviation, especially the crashes and the NTSB reports.

Do you remember this one?

T
American Airlines flight 587 in Queens, N.Y., on Nov. 12, 2001. The crash occurred soon after take-off from New York's JFK airport, when the Airbus A300-605R's tail came apart. All 260 on the plane were killed, as were five people on the ground.

The National Transportation Safety Board found that the plane's tail fin -- the vertical stabilizer -- tore off because the pilot put too much stress on the rudder by flipping it from side to side "

"the vertical stabilizer -- tore off because the pilot put too much stress on the rudder by flipping it from side to side "
The day of THAT crash was the last time I flew on a Commercial Airline.


So it does look like I have more than the faintest idea of what I'm talking about.
