this is only my second post to the forums here and the first got zero views so im hoping im not off topic putting this here - apologies if so

title is 'low flying plane terrorizes couple"

 

am i correct in wishing it was changed to

 

"idiotic and suicidal runway incursion by morons terrorizes sport pilot coming in to land on runway death only avoided by epic piloting skills"?

 

that IS a runway right? if so the incident must have been reported and someone held acountable?

This video has actually been discussed before. I believe the incident was just a risky stunt.

I like your title better. What were those idiots doing on the runway! If that was an authorized stunt the FAA should should make some serious inquiries.

zowen thanks for the heads up - i did look down recent topics and didnt see it but didnt search either so will be reading that thread now...yes superglide it was the misleading title of the video that got me

the most fired up to post here hence the topic title

Plane coming in to land at 200 mph?

@BimmerCOp EXACTLY i reviewed the video and changed my opinion which i posted on the other original post - couldnt agree more now will repost that reply here and back off to avoid inter-topic confusion!

 

****i changed my opinion after reading the original post***

 

@tt51D those 'performers' are lucky THEY didnt expire..i posted my own topic on this without realizing this one existed - as regards fake or not as a video editor myself it looks real not faked in POST -

- I actually thought the 'smoke' was a result of applying full throttle from an idle position same as it would in a car with some misfires in between but if it IS stunt smoke then its a smoking gun for the argument

of planned incident - fake/real or not if its on the news its publicity and thats ALL good right?

-for sure though my opinion is that:

 

plane is WAY too fast to have been on landing roll even after go around switch over - at landing speed if you saw obstacle in a sport plane you could surely easily divert to the side or over with minimum throttle

--if plane NOT on landing roll then why is it so close to ground at this speed if not a stunt? as is shown to obvious effect at end of video plane has superb climbing performance (and turning to be back in video after a 'live or death incident') so plane could easily have skipped over these morons whether they were there deliberately or not..

 

so...i reckon planned incident that became a close call or a homicidal pilot deliberately scaring the ***** out of society's ubiquitous extreme sport morons (it IS a runway!)

 

please excuse any ill informed aviation info as just that im not a RWP just a simmer of a few weeks but life long flying fan

What's the problem anyway, it looks like they all knew what was coming and had willingly taken the risk. Even at the worst case they would have all died without hurting anybody else so I don't see any problem with this act.

fscamp..thats such a cut to the chase answer i cant wait to get off this portable device and post a response.i agree with the darwinism but who cleans up the mess? more tomorrow thumb typing disagrees with me
