...Holy crap ! ...the Icon A5 pane he was flying is supposed to be very simple to fly...it folds up and can be towed on a trailer that nearly fits in a carport.
...^^^ exactly, What's really ironic: Jon Karkow the designer lead engineer died earlier this year in May, flying his own A5. I knew and met with Jon several times when he worked for Burt Rutan at "Scaled Composites" in Mojave. I never cared for the Rutan AC, too lightweight, always susceptible to control losses due to strong winds; and never kept that a secret, as did my colleagues often say as much to Rutan and Karkow.... Our own Co: 'NG' wound up buying out Rutan's Co exactly 10 yr's ago....
Halladay, a true craftsman on the mound, still well remember that NLDS Game 5 in '11. Halladay pitched his butt off only to lose to Carpenter 1-0. RIP sir, you were one of the best.
Did the plane go down and crash in the ocean or was he practicing touch and goes on the water? Saw the sad news and immediately thought of Clemente, Munson and Lidle.
Matts:::::: A motor behind a pilot's head is an incredible concept similar to the 1950's "flying wing" by Lockhead .
...ya know, some people should just STFU when they talk; https://www.cbsnews.com/news/boston...lger-moron-roy-halladay-got-what-he-deserved/ ...wouldn't expect anything less coming out of Boston.
...I realize that some of these talking heads say things sometime just to be controversial and stimulate conversation...but damn. ...and BTW, Matts, I like your Orwell quote.
...^^^ exactly, simply to stir up discontent, and make headlines. Like a child who believes they lack attention, so they stir up shit, and get negative attention, in lieu of none at all.......... sick minds.... The Orwell Quote is very telling of these times, eh?.... I remember reading 1984 in high school, thinking that's only a decade and 4 yrs away, sounded like forever until 1984, ........... now it's come been and gone. Orwell was damn near a prophet seer imo....
same year my Son was born. Does that mean I can call you daughter: "Don't call me daughter, not fit to The picture kept will remind me"...........
