Uhhhh, I decline!

BTW, that plane was placed in that tree, right? If a plane of that size would crash into a tree, wouldn't it disintegrate?

Not certain - i think it was a crash... if the plane stalled out (say on landing or takeoff) it could be going quite slow when it impacted. It looks as if the wings were damaged where they make contact with the tree.

EDIT: It could also have tried to make a (bad) landing, "bounced" off the road to the right, and smacked into the tree.

Also, it could have been a victim of a tornado that flung the plane into the tree whilst it was parked.

sigh....what isn't....

alarm didn't go off this morning so i'm an hour late to work. (and yes, they record every instance and hold it against you for up to six months) Then i get an email from the college who's requirements i've just completed in regards to pre-requisite courses just so I can have the honor of being put on the wait list for their blessed program. The email tells me essentially...."your transcripts look great...but you now need intermediate alegebra (up from occupational math) as well....please visit our website blah blah....."

Right now thats at least a two course deal for me as i've not done any Algebra since high school. (that translates into another half year's worth of school work time wise) I'm so discouraged right now i just want to drink myself into a stupor. Their waiting list is already two years long.

Coming here [the website...not the thread] even adds to the bullspit.....i've got Castor Troy wailing about a ghost DUR penalty ruining his nikmod game.

life just sucks this morning.

Sorry to hear of your troubles Nik. YOu no what they say, when all else fails, punt a cat...or better yet, put some custom ears and a tail on your boss and punt him.

I think its real. After careful examination, the planes wings seem to suggest it did impact the tree moving horizontally. My guess would be a stall.

I take that back. Now that I look at it, it would appear it dropped into the tree from above, based on the pattern of broken and unbroken branches.

Well, stall is a word you can use when the plane runs out of gas...

(NTSB report says the plane ran out of gas)

http://www.ntsb.gov/ntsb/brief.asp?e...13X31556&key=1

EDIT:

Odd, i get to the website from another location, but putting the link here doesn't work:

Anyway, it says:

Nik, will they not put you on the waiting list until you complete those courses?

Yeah, that's what caught my attention, too. I think they 'shaped' that plane with hammer, and then used a crane to place it onto a strong branch. Think about it: it's a perfect and eye-catching advertisment for a flight school...

Edit: Okay, problem solved!

I'm not at all sure I want to fly with them.

Personally I think it was a Dutch replacement pilot.

Not a GOOD advertisement for the flight school, but certainly eye-catching

See NTSB report above...

......or 95% of Japanese replacement pilots after 7 Dec 41.

Even bad advertisment is advertisment...

But it looks like you're right.
