How 'bout I smack you in the back of the head for not telling me if I was clear or not to land to the right of me.Like you said you were
going to.

I figured you were plenty capable of crashing it on your own...didn't need my help.

That's part of the reason I felt bad after you crashed. I felt that if you'd stayed right that it would still be in one piece. I kept thinking "Damn...I should've told him.."


My camera shoots 5 frames per second so yeah - that sequence took about 2 seconds to transpire.

Gotta give him credit! Looks like he was still trying to save it in these photos. Looks like he wasen't giving it enough down elevator!

For sure!

Roy is a big guy...When you're putting that much body English into a maneuver and still can't recover you just know you're in a bad way.


Shots of the plane in the air prior to the crash.

Was overcast and I was using a 75-300mm lens so pics are grainy.
