I hate the Lakers, too, but a brother just died in the prime of his life. (And Katelynn Faber lied... three white guys' semen residue in her panties the night she claimed Kobe 'raped' her. Yeah, no.) Horrible way to die. Who sabotaged the helicopter?

Que the riots starting in Inglewood shortly after sunset.

In my young and dumb days I got about 10 hours of rotor time, and did some ag spraying. I flew on a med evac as an EMT from a scene call one time which was cool, but just seen too many go down.

In September 2009 I was sitting on my back deck drinking a beer one afternoon and watching the usual Cessna 150 trainers and some Robinson egg beaters fly out to the practice areas. One of the Robinsons was flying back to Hillsboro about 300 ft AGL, the engine coughed once, and then the rotor clutch went and that fucker went down like a rock. Shards of melting and burning titanium floating down. I knew it was in a bad access area and headed over there to guide the EMS in. I finally found a way in and found the wreck with a deputy. Couple of pieces taller than 2 feet but it was a pile of burning material. But the time the fie was put out there were a couple of charred torsos left.

Student 25, and instructor 37, killed in the crash.

I will stay with my fixed wing aircraft, chances are much better to live.

Pretty much. The only people left in San Fagshitsco are billionaires, their wetback servants and street shitting stumble bums. Since Milton's Chug & Tug, LLC is not likely to net a billion anytime soon, it's safe to say he's renting a converted garage and shitting bum spurt into a bucket.

I'm with duhron on this one. If you lose the engine on a fixed wing, at least you still have a glider. Lose the motor on a whirlybird and maybe if you are real good at auto-rotating maybe you survive it, but in the case of that dude who had a drivetrain issue, yeah, he was just riding a plunger at that point. Sucked to be him.

Helicopters 1.09 per 100,000 hours

I'm sorry IB - but that was so god awful it was funny. The person recording it (OH MY........) sounded like she'd been stabbed. How can one fuck up that bad? I mean - that's on MSNBC for fuck's sakes! Shit - I'd bet she's already in jail!
https://popculture.com/sports/2020/01/2 ... ng-lakers/

It's not like being stabbed. It's like being backstabbed.

I do not joke, when I say, 'No exceptions.'

MSNBC -- not FOX -- Allison Morris of MSNBC took a big swallow and dropped a N bomb then stuttered repeatedly trying to pronounce Lakers instead.

Then she gets on Twitter and claims she actually said ' Nackers'. No, Allison, you did not say 'Nackers'. There was no 'a' or 'k' in your pronunciation. On what planet does someone think of a word beginning with N for a California sports team, anyway?

Where does MSNBC go from here? A man died with his 13 year old daughter in a painful way, and she's dropping N bombs for a liberal network. That's why I asked if the Chryon operator was fucking with her -- but that goes out the window with the nackets bs.

Extremely disrespectful to the man, his daughter, his daughter's black team member, Kobe's widow and surviving daughters, her friend's family, the Laker extended family, the African American DOS community, and even the white pilot who died. Terrible cunt.

Yeah, the Chinook CH 47 is a pretty bad ass helicopter. My boys flew in them a lot in Afghanistan and Iraq. They have a tremendous lift capability and are used in fire suppression a lot. I was photographing one at the Redmond, OR airport last year, they taxied out a bit run up the power and just fucking shot up into the sky and was gone. Amazing

Just like JFK jr taking off at sunset with bad weather on the way and doesn't know how to fly by instruments...

In JFK Jr situation...his STUPID KUNT wife was fukkkking around doing stupid women sheeit thus delaying
the takeoff by two hours and into the darkness and bad weather. JFK Jr should have scrubbed the flight
and said "We'll Leave in the morning" but super model stupid kunt had to be there that night!

Sometimes you have to. But no one is going to allow you to fly when there's only quarter mile visibility. (in some cases, a plane won't be sent out even with current reported 100% visibility, because if the weather turns as expected neither the pilot nor the carrier want the pilot to overnight it in some of these villages. but you guys already dealt with that in the military.)

Someone on a very popular site said the pilot had not filed an instrument flight rule plan. How many hours did the pilot have, to feel confident enough to fly by visual in a fog? and under what conditions is visual flight ever allowed for helicopter pilots? How often did the outfit allow their pilots to not file an ifr plan in less than pristine weather?

looks like he got into the weather and did not make good decisions and flew it into the side of the mountain at 176 mph in " Special VFR" conditions. Nothing wrong with turning the fuck around and going back from whence you came and live to fly another day.

That stupid fukkking pilot! Had an asian accent....ARRRRRRRRGHHHHH!


One of my friends graduated from the Air Force Academy....flew C-130's but could fly
any airplane. He was the BEST
because the US Military trains the best.

If I was a multi millionaire the ONLY pilots I would trust would be AIR FORCE ACADEMY
or US ARMY for helicopter faggots!

No way I would get on a plane with a chick pilot, a black pilot, an asian pilot....

Not being racist...but I WANT A WHITE MALE PILOT trained by the MILITARY!

Hi Pickle. I think military pilots want retired from military money? They are not going to take jobs where the need is great, but the pay is crap. It's no fun to be a civilian in the middle of a situation where pilots quit (or get fired for being less than functional alcoholics on the job), and one veteran pilot has to haul multiple legs by himself until the light fails and relief is found.

It's not a race thing. It's an experience thing, and an owner thing, and a compensation thing. The FAA will ensure this doesn't happen again for this outfit, if they want to stay in business. But lives are lost because something slipped along the way, safety wise.

Is it true, there should have been a co-pilot?

It's no fun to be a civilian in the middle of a situation where pilots quit (or get fired for being less than functional alcoholics on the job), and one veteran pilot has to haul multiple legs by himself until the light fails and relief is found.

It's not a race thing. It's an experience thing, and an owner thing, and a compensation thing. The FAA will ensure this doesn't happen again for this outfit, if they want to stay in business. But lives are lost because something slipped along the way, safety wise.

Is it true, there should have been a co-pilot?
First of all....if you are a multi millionaire....do you want some flunky flying you around the world or do you want the best trained pilot in the world?

My Air Force Academy friend told me that he could land any plane under any circumstance as long as a wing didn't fall off. That's the kind of pilot I WANT!


If you have to pay extra for an air force academy trained pilot....don't you think your life is worth a few extra $$$$$$$$?


And regarding race.......


I hate to break the news to you...but the AIR FORCE ACADEMY spent hundreds of millions of dollars to find black people that were smart enough to understand aerodynamics and all the black people FLUNKED OUT!

The air force fighter pilots are still 99 percent WHITE even though they are bending over backwards to find any black person smart enough to be trusted in the cockpit of a plane!

Not racism...just real honest truth.

What we want, and what we get, don't always align perfectly. So we work with what we're given.

When it comes to flying, I want the pilot who is safety minded working for the company which is also safety minded. I don't know what the profit margin of that company is, though. Dollars to donuts, it's not the only private L. A. outfit cutting corners to mollify customers and earn profits. If they had told Kobe they couldn't fly, would he have driven his caravan of 8 people, or would he have shopped around to find someone who would fly?

I want a source which isn't your ass regarding black pilots.

And in the Air Force, of 12,639 pilots (also 16.1 percent of the officer corps), just 236 officers are black pilots, or 2.1 percent.



Cargo planes and T-38's are easy to fly.....

of the 2.1 percent of black pilots only a couple were smart enough to fly fighter jets.

None were smart enough to fly the F-35 or the F-22
