At least he's trying to raise awareness about the ultra high risks of wingtip strikes at over 700 feet per minute turns! Talk about threading the needle! I can't see how any plane gets in there honestly. Its borderline Blue Angels stuff when you think about it.

But srsly, for something so incredibly stoopid he really put a lot of thought into it. Like a crazy amount of thought into it. THOF (tool hall of fame) material right there.

Fixed it

If he thinks DCA is bad he would never land in Juneau or Sitka or some of the other challenging airports we fly into in Alaska. I would not charitorize these airports as ULTRA HIH RISK. That's hyperbolic. Many airports have unique challenges. They are not dangerous. Thousands of flights safely operate into and out of them every year. They are just challenging. It's one of the reasons I love my job.

The guy posts pictures of himself, who he works for, dates and times of flights, and plenty of pictures clearly taken below 10K...you'd think he was excited to meet the FAA.

That's some of the worst writing I've ever seen. Crap-ola. He's trying way to hard.

I completely agree. This thread should be closed. We have found the winner.
