I'm New Here
I know this is a bad ju ju topic but how many of you have actually seen or walked an actual crash site involving an RV/Rocket? I seen my first one today and I will be ok if I don't ever see another.

-Low altitude canyon flight resutling in powerline stike (2 fatal)
-Apparent engine failure (still to be determined) in landing pattern resulting in stall during forced landing (2 fatal)
-Low level flight over ocean with high speed impact (2 fatal)
-Low level aerobatics (2 fatal)
I'd say three of these crashes did not need to happen. The apparent engine failure one may be the only unavoidable of the four above.

FAR too many survivable forced landings end in catastrophe due to stalls.

I love stalls! You can stall VERY close to the ground. You can stall high above the ground. It's the gray area in the middle that's iffy.L.Adamson said:Don't stall!
I'm confused.American_Pride said:as always the news never gets it right. No one at the scene saw the plane go down. Some one heard the crash and went driving around to look for something????????? Found the wreckage, called it in. I arrived at about the same time as 15 sheriff cars and two fire engines. They had no idea of where the plane went down so I ended up being the 5th or 6th vehicle on the scene. I was only working 3/4 of a mile away and seen nothing. Two things that I'm thankful for is that the land manager told the news teams to leave as it is private property.(one reporter was told by the sheriff "Either leave in your car or leave in mine") The second thing, is that having known and talked to the pilot at the airport, is that bodies don't look like bodies after a crash. Although I didn't see him, I'm the most thankful for that.
