Yes true, but I've yet to see a glow (or gas) plane hit the ground and spew flaming jet fuel for the entire run of the crash, like at Joe Nall this year. I've been flying for 30 plus years and I've never seen a glow or gas plane do something like that.

Remember, just because WE as pilots know its a bunch of bunk doesn't mean the other non-pilots out there don't get reactionary.

A 55lb. jet flying at 100 mph hits with the same force as a 55lb prop job flying at 100mph... but thats not what some people see/hear, they just see turbine & kerosine and freak...


Please remember I am NOT supporting the AMA's lack of care or its actual distaste of the turbine pilots, I'm just commenting on why they may be doing it.
