Very Gracious view on things...."a simple accident"......WoW.....Man....Thats Cool.

Thanks MAC. Good post. He was in a real hurry. That's for sure. When I saw the shute open I couldn't really believe he made it. Strange thing is that it wasn't any explotions or smoke... I think I held my breath for a good few secs there. And then the relief as the speaker informed us the pilot had made it out. The speakers last comment was something like this; 'These things happen. This is aviation you know...'

And The Horsemen

thanks Bud...beautiful babes in flight. i will return the favor someday..

that pilot was gracious...extremely gracious. a lesser man would have taken that moment in the spotlight to vent and cast blame or bash.... a true gentleman.

oh just stole this from another forum....a still of the moment of impact. the pony looks pretty small compared to the raider doesnt she?

McQ59 · #**115** 07-12-2011, 11:38 PM

The raider is a brute shining brutal power. It's huge and heavy! Nice pic. We're even bud. No worries. You have fed me top notch stuff in loads bro. I got a cpl of more of the Horsemen coming up.
The pilot there is a true officer and a gentleman. That's 4 sure. It was time 'to get proffesional' he said. Well put...

They're close...

And then there's Ferocious Frankie

Was more the beautifully executed boom and zoom on myself whilst U2 was climbing into a firing position and subsequent coming together of you both that amused me- doing a Duxford as it's now become known!

Yea that one. It takes knowledge and skills.
Knowledge as in experiencing the Duxford incident.
Skills as in flying a singel seater

Was going to say can you even spell single seater skills but I guess that's even a struggle!!!

And just because you have the jacket doesn't mean you have to fly the bird!!
