OK, we've all heard some remarkable excuses given to explain a crash. What are some of your favorites? Extra points for originality. Some of the one's I've heard are:

1) I got a radio "hit" / failsafe!!!!!!
2) I lost lift on the downwind turn
3) It was my spotter's fault
4) I ran out of airspeed, altitude, and ideas all at the same time
5) Gravity from the tree sucked in the plane
6) Who moved the tree?
7) Who raised (or lowered) the runway when I was flying?
8) It was the flux capacitor!!!!
9) Deadstick, downwind, and dumb!
10) It was a static electricity buildup

"I didn't have it. I know because I was holding UP elevator all the way to the ground and it never pulled out."

The pull out of the aircraft did not coincide with the curvature of the Earth.

I know a guy that said almost the exact same thing. except it was " I got hit! I had full elevator and it kept coming down."
Here's a clip of the same guy:

The ground arrested the vertical profile of my descent...


Although I really like the "distraction" one... [sm=thumbs_up.gif]

I turned downwind too soon......

The dog tripped me, then tried to "fetch" the transmitter when I dropped it.

Had to set the transmitter down to pick up my beer. Often on the same flight as "hold my beer and watch this"

It was a sudden gust of gravity.

Finally a post that is well written, thought out and makes sense.
