Another thing, wouldn't the ntsb report show an earlier pass? This would go a long way toward showing negligence on either party so I would be surprised if it wasn't included in the report!
After doing a search on the incident and checking links (full scale and rc), I can't find anywhere that it was said that the biplane made a first pass then made the 2nd pass that struck the slick. The report seems incorrect and that the first pass was the one that struck the slick.
Oberst was there on official business to collect information. I'm going to believe him over you, so sorry, but I disagree MORE:
"Within days, as AMA’s government and regulatory Affairs representative, I was on-site to gather the facts and to interview the participants. As they say, the following is the rest of the story… "
It's real tough to find this. It's the first post in this thread.
