Default RE: An Incident with Lessons for All of Us

ORIGINAL: Gooseman240

Again, boob tube showed us only the part leading up to the impact, not the initial 2 pases that was stated in the first post. So, if there was another pass before what was showin to the world. The RC pilot is at fault, as the runway was not closed, it was still an active runway, so FS has right of way.

Kind of hard to show what isn't there

It makes a great deal of difference in whether there was an earlier pass or not!!

You can believe that if the bipe made a pass (a low pass like in the vid or even twice as high) then came all of the way back around the pattern and then came by and hit the rc plane, it would have been all over the threads!!!! [:-]


Added:

If the first post is correct, then this paints the RC guy and the airboss in a VERY bad light!!!! & is VERY relevant to the event!
