Plane Crashed Dropping Toilet Paper

Postby Sabre » Tue Sep 11, 2012 4:39 pm

What kind of a pilot drops toilet paper from an aircraft? Uh, well, never mind.
IDAHO PLANE THAT CRASHED WAS DROPPING TOILET PAPER

MOSCOW, Idaho (AP) -- Idaho authorities say the pilot of an airplane flying over a Republican party gathering had been dropping rolls of toilet paper before it crashed.

The Federal Aviation Administration says early indications are that the experimental airplane stalled or reached a speed and angle at which it lost its lift.

The crash Saturday afternoon killed the pilot, 60-year-old Randy Humble, of Moscow, Idaho.

Does this belong in the 'Aviation Safety' or 'Political Discussion' forum? :D

Just another Russian case of poor air safety.

Oh, you've said Moscow, IDAHO?

a speed and angle at which it lost its lift.
It's just parlour talk, but I bet he was pulling back on the stick/yoke/elevator control/whatever.

Might even be a low speed and high angle too.

Experimental Airplane fail! RIP Randy!
you still have to find a crew willing to fly this "barely airworthy" heap
no such thing as "barely airworthy" it's either Airworthy or Not
100% incorrect Ever hear of Ferry Permit? issued for Non airworthy aircraft

Oh the ironing. He dropped the poo tickets - and yet seconds before he came to a sudden stop he probably could have used some toilet paper...
