Looks like they forgot to claim it was 'Attempting To Land' by flying 'straight and level' with smoke.

That is what the fs defenders are claiming, right?
That it was an attempt to land ontop of those known people,
not a 'straight and level' smoke buzz showoff.
right?


Cause a 'straight and level' smokey buzz a dozen yards above a crowd of people is illegal,
and claiming you were intentionally trying to land on those people you see is worse

('intentionally', as in:
He saw the runway was obstructed with people,
and chose to land without knowing if the people were gone or not.
Thats a bold choice. Not a smart choice, nor a particularly legal choice, but bold none the less)



The RC was 30' too high, the FS was 470' too low,
if EITHER didnt make that mistake then the re would be no collision.
.... oh, and the Airboss & Airport Operator was just 47 ways wrong any way you slice it
