A good friend of mine just passed away this last week, he was a heck of a pilot, and a great guy.

He told me years ago he was flying on a big open field that had some old goal posts on it. he said he was standing off to the side of the field, and decided to fly between the posts, everything looked great until the last second, then he realized his offset perception was wrong..he nailed the vertical post and the plane exploded..

he said it was like someone grabbed the plane and moved it over at the last second...
