I am pinging my list with this apology for misleading everyone as to what I really thought was a full sized airplane doing an amazing aeronautical stunt.
Thanks to all who have already accepted the apology I extended in
comment #6. As I said, it was an obvious error. Well, obvious to those who have since educated me, but not to those like me who are less knowledgeable about model RC planes as O. D. Tucker pointed out.
The extensive knowledge at FR when it comes to various topics, in this case aviation and RC plane knowledge, leaves little doubt I was wrong. Plus I received a phone call from a certain individual who read my article and watched my video.
As I said I have amended my article to include the truth and my error.
Rodamala;
Thanks for the link to
Snoopy flying an RC, I LMAO watching it as I too was thinking along the lines of Nik Naym that Snoopy flew a Sopwith Camel. LOL
As for the video of the
"Pugachev Cobra" maneuver, that could be similar to what I and my wife might have saw on Saturday. So when I returned on Sunday for the interview with
Bill Braack and saw the
RC I thought was a real plane doing off to the side doing what I filmed.
Again, for those who still wish to believe my intentions were to fool people. Well you just don't know me. I have been a Freeper since early 1998, and I have a rather large ping list of followers.
,br /> What I am saying is that it is not beneficial to me to be purposely screwing with peoples heads.
As for the San Diego Air Show, it would be great to see an air show that has more to offer than we get at the
Air Show in our small community of Chico Ca. Maybe some day I will make it to one.
Again I would like to extend my heartfelt apology for misleading anyone, and thanks to those who have already accepted it. God Bless, Chuck Wolk (OV)
Chuck. As they say, poo poo happens. In the grand scheme of things, this doesn't even rate an oops - IMHO. We have much bigger fish to fry with the Election only a month away...
Now if only Obama would issue an apology. LOL
No worries Chuck... I similarly Laughed out Loud REALLY hard at Nik Naym's post:
Maybe you recognized him.He looked like this:
All I could think of was the Large Marge scene in PeeWee's Big Adventure.
And when they finally pulled the driver's body from the twisted, burning wreck... It looked like THIS:
Now do you get why I was laughing so hard?
