Fighter / attack pilots need to worry about job security - not being shot down.

Banner towing could be a bit dicey when the winds were gusting. Had the hook kick off the ground once and break the end cap on the horizontal stabilizer. A season before me the guy had the hook bounce off the ground and wrap around the tail. No elevator. Brought it back with trim and power... 2 seasons after me the guy died on a banner drop. Released the banner and climbed too steeply, I guess. Stalled/spun in from 200 feet.

Banners are definitely dicey.
Watched one crash, lost 2 more planes that season. I know 2 dead and 6 or 7 more crashed. That was in 3 seasons. CE |
