Sparkie...
I enjoyed the story. I can just see the plane coming apart...like others have said, lucky nobody got hurt.

UNLIKE what others have said, that crash was the responsibility of the pilot at the sticks and nobody else. Who's to know what the guy would have said if approached by club members? Sounds to me like he might just have said that he could handle it...probably could show 'em his AMA card too.

We have a sordid mentally developing in our country, which constantly tries to pry responsibility from he individual. Is it McDonald's fault that you burnt your crotch with spilled coffee in your car? Or should you have known that coffee was supposed to be hot? You all know what I'm trying to say.
Leave Sparkie alone, he's just the messenger.
