This really has not the least to do with Warbirds.
For SOME of us: this is the ONLY forum we read (at least, for me it is). That said: I for one welcome an occasional avaition related story, especially when it pertains to crash/ loss of life investigations and findings. The more we ALL know, the less likely such tragic events will occur again. There IS a lesson for all of us: recognize and acknowledge stalls and the onset of stalls, and react accordingly and correctly.
If no-one complains, is there really an issue here?
If it were the only one in the forum right now, your idea would have more strength.
As for noone complaining, you'd lose there too. No way you'd know whether or not the report button had been pushed by anyone else. But mods get emailed at home when someone does. They get to stay anonymous too, although we don't.
Lots of forums have "families", regulars who share friendly conversations. Warbirds is one. But there still needs to be order to the entire forums, and that's where the rules come in. Something so very off topic as this Air France pushes the Warbirds envelope far more than a little. It pushes right through the side of the envelope. As for there being a lesson for model airplane pilots here...... now there is another push right through the side of the envelope.
Sorry, but it showed up possibly because the OP saw the "Pending FAA ......" thread. One active envelope pusher doesn't make a 2nd ok too. Sorry
