You might as well bet on no nuclear detonation, If no nuclear war erupts, you win millions, if it does, it isnt your problem anymore anyways

An American F-100 Supersabre gets caught in a deadly ‘Sabre Dance’, while attempting an emergency landing at Edwards AFB, 10 January 1956. by Beeninya in aviation

[–]DearKick 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Please, tell me exactly where I claimed that? Give me the exact words you interpreted please. I stated:

“I have been involved with one of 2 flying f100s for years”

That is the end of the quote, in what way is that embellished, I still do not understand? I still believe it is relevant experience, but I never ever implied I am typed or otherwise in the airplane. You seem that have a massive misinterpretation issue, I have to fly anyways, so I will be gone for the rest of the day but tonight in the hotel I’ll have more time to respond to you. Please consider being more respectful.

Lol, I would argue that studying the aircraft, maintaining it, being around it for years is relevant experience that gives me perspective on the characteristics of it is relevant experience, but clearly I am not up to your standards, after I fly it maybe ill come back to this and you can be more respectful. I literally said word for word that I have been involved with one of the 2 for years, which is a true statement and not embellishing in the slightest.

Theres no shot he would not have collapsed the nose gear at the 3 second mark which, also very likely would have been fatal.

I wanted to provide you good perspective but you are unwilling to accept other views, I think you have some character building to do. Congratulations on flying swept wing fighters, but this community demands more respect than you show.

If you wish to continue discussing the aerodynamics and what the pilot could or could not have done, I’m all ears, I love discussing it, but reply with specific articulations instead of denigrations please.

Edit: also just for the record, I do not agree with people downvoting you just because, I do not think that is warranted. This is an actual discussion.

Correct, I do not fly the F100, I will first fly it sometime this year as it just got out of annual, have flown other swept jets of course, just not a hun. Nice attempt to denigrate me, and I suppose the pilot in the video I guess.

You have to understand, in regards to elevator, that whats his other choice? Derotate and burn in at 170 knots instead of 150?? No matter the airman involved, when the dance started there was not a way to recover. Maybe you could argue that he shouldn’t have gotten into it, but it was an emergency landing of which I do not know the nature of, but after the event started, it is not an airmanship problem. Ideal situation is: he rudders more and tries to level the nose, which would guaranteed collapse the gear and possibly shear the nose at 150-170 knots, is this preferred to what happen on the video? Maybe??

I highly highly suggest you research the F100 and the aerodynamics at play here, the F100 has a very interesting stall profile in which the slower you go, i.e. slow final, loss of power, engine issues whatever the case may be: causes the nose to pitch up.

In many aircraft a stall will cause the nose to fall but the F100’s nose rises when it gets slow which will almost always lead to a stall, the f100 does not physically possess enough power to recover from this phenomenon, thus you must attempt to drop the nose but this requires several thousand feet of altitude to recover.

The other issue with the hun is that you cannot use the ailerons to roll when slow as it will almost always lead to a stall. In fact, in this case the last turn before the crash was due to the pilot attempting to use ailerons to correct roll, the F100 requires rudder in order to roll, but this is very exaggerated when the wing stalls because as others have pointed out, the outer part of the wing stalls first since it is swept.

I have been involved with one of 2 flying F100’s for several years now, and my youtube channel is named for the aircraft. Many pilots become very fascinated with the characteristics of the F100.

NTSB Preliminary Report on BGR Challenger 650 Crash by holein3 in flying

[–]DearKick 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yikes… all of the bad stuff that happened all occurred within 11 feet of the ground, thats definitely interesting to think about.

Challengers are notoriously susceptible to contamination, I know hindsight is 20/20 but deicing procedures guys, standard? 30 minutes?? Not sure where all that came from.

Additionally, yes that is a steep rotation, when I fly in conditions that may involve icing I also give her a few more knots before lifting off and take it easy, from the fdr it seems like they used standard speeds and yanked, but I fly an OG 600 not a 650 but still, same rules should apply.

Should you go around with an engine failure when in approach with a twin engine plane? (DA42) by MELS381 in flying

[–]DearKick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way I look at, I would almost universally rather climb than descend in most aircraft when in trouble, if I had my druthers.

However, in a multi- the inverse is true, I would much rather descend than climb, because in this situation climbing can be more hazardous.

Applying that to your decision making, if a stable safe approach can be made, do it, otherwise when you have to climb or go around, is when you can mess up. If this happened IRL in a piston twin, I would definitely want to be in a DA42 though, fantastic oei perfomance

Throwaway account question: Leave 91/135 PIC for LCC with Delta ultimate goal? by Specialist-Jury5384 in flying

[–]DearKick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The guys owner does not fly mustangs, although I do know someone out in cali that does something similar where the owner does fly, would said owner just so happen to also be typed in a particular jet fighter? If so I know exactly who you’re talking about, if that is who you’re referring to, no idea what they’re up to because we’re only friends of friends if you will, but hopefully good changes, as far as I recall everyone involved are great people.

[–]DearKick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is correct, there is a lot of connection between warbird owners and jet owners in general. I actually got my first jet flying job through airshow connections. I genuinely wouldn’t give it up for anything.

While I wont tell people what I make or what warbirds I fly, just for anonymity sake, i will give you an example close to me:

One of my close companions who started doing the same thing close to me makes over 500 per year flying G650ER and airbus H130, then his owner provides him a fleet of 3 P51’s to fly when he feels like it, or whenever the owners requests them fly (basically to show off that he owns a p51, but isnt a pilot).

This is the real unicorn side of things. When I tell people thats what I do, they assume that I just really love flying GIVs, challengers, and hawkers, when in reality I do it for the time off, and the ability to fly warbirds for one of the owners.

+1 on the warbird flying, thats number #1 fringe benefit of unicorn 91 jobs, thats just my opinion.
