Great post Tom, go get em!!!!

Thanks for the laugh!

I'm sorry LeoSV, Suicide???? Did I miss something here or is that your comment from the previous post about the SAM's and the "skeet" call sign?

Apparently the first guy who did it, Walters, committed suicide at age 44. The guy who just did it is still alive...so watch out for flying household items.

I agree with you - the guy put himself and many other unsuspecting aviators in jeopardy. He ought to think twice before doing this again.

I was not in a good mood last night

My overall opinion remains though!

Several years ago, a C-5 had an engine disintegrate over upstate NY while in IFR. The engine was a complete loss and parts went flying everywhere. At the same time, a guy that flew hang gliders and bragged to his friends that he flew in the clouds, went missing. He was flying that day too, in the same general area. Last the time I read anything about the incident, the USAF was looking into the guy down the engine theory, didn't hear the outcome.
