This last video is the closest I’ve seen to him actually killing himself. Which is honestly impressive because that’s not a low bar to clear. Loss of directional control in a light twin is a death sentence.

FLIGHT SAFETY TIP: Fatties out first

The problem is that unless you gently caress up really badly, or are going out and wilfully doing things that are orders of magnitude more negligent than Jerry there, getting a license revoked is often a long and arduous bureaucratic process (unless you get a DUI lol, then you're instafucked). Suspensions are much easier for the regulator to hand out, and honestly they can have a profound effect on your ability to fly an aircraft anyway. Getting insurance if you have a suspension can be a VERY expensive proposition.

I’d be willing to bet he lacks the knowledge/understanding that a stall horn is only calibrated for max gross on a standard day and that’s why he thinks it’s wrong.

That and being light raises Vmc while lowering the stall speed.


This guy is just amazing. Stories will be told of him for years to come when he eventually augers in. And it’ll all be in 4K video from multiple angles. I just hope he doesn’t Vmc into my house or myself when I’m out and about, I live under where a lot his flying is.

Sadly, at the moment we only have C-G*** and C-F*** (and I think C-I*** for ultralights)

C-GOCK is a Piper Seminole based at my local airport though, and I can confirm the font used for the tail number does have a G that looks very similar to a C, though.

I don't know if anyone has C-gently caress or if they would allow that (my guess is no).

The closest I know is C-FUCL which was retired ages ago.

I used to fly GOINK (601NK) until we changed air wings to one with an NE tail code (which did give us GOONE for 600 in return).



I can't find a good pic of it online but it's written in huge letters on the top of the wing, which shows up when you fold them back. I'll have to dig through my photo archive to see if I have one that shows it.

The US was LOOOOONG done with buying KC-135s by 1980. I think we were done in the 60s.

Edit: Ah, chopping out the first digit makes sense. There are USUALLY more digits than in that pic, but not always.

There's a ton of Honda Jets that are N420XX just because the model number is HA-420 and they kinda default to that if the customer doesn't specify a tail number they want.
