Shortly Before Fatal Crash, Jet Pilot Was Asked to Change Runways

LMAO! I’ve parachuted in 30 mph winds, and landed against a barbed wire fence, because I was drug into the fence. I made a poor decision to jump. Otherwise, shut up!

[freepersup]

Once again, you’re full of doo doo.

[volare737]

You are TOTALLY clueless. Just ask a real pilot. Also, let us know the next time you switch runways when landing…lol.

[volare737]

Please stop, you are embarrassing yourself at levels beyond what you initially posted.. Again, ask a real pilot.

[volare737]

Even better, since you probably don’t know any real pilots, just google max tailwind for commercial aircraft.

[freepersup]

Really?

I’ve jumped out of C-123s, C-130s, C141s, CH 53s, CH47s, UH60s, UH1s, C7s, U21s, C-172s, C-180s, C-182s, C-185s, etc.

KNOCK IT OFF Clown World!

[volare737]

Since you seem to be enjoying embarrassing yourself, just google it and let us know what you find...lol.

[volare737]

You have obviously jumped out of too many airplanes to even know what you are talking about..lol

[dforest]

This explanation you just posted appears to be what actually happened.

[freepersup]

Face palm.

Keep it up dum dum.

You do understand that when a heavy drop load is extracted out of a aerial delivery aircraft, the first parachute is a 15’ diameter pilot parachute, attached to an H block on the floor of the aircraft?

By the way, I didn’t tell you that I was ALSO a U S Air Force, Parachute Rigger, rigging the Martin Baker Ejection System, (F-4) and the ACES III (3) Ejection System (F-16).

Come on bro, give it a rest.

[volare737]

The maximum tailwind for any commercial aircraft to takeoff or land is 10k. With the wind at that time, the tailwind component was between 11 knots and 16 knots for Runway 19. It would have been even worse for Runway 15. The winds were 320/17 gusting to 25.

[volare737]

What the heck does that have to do with an aircraft taking off with a tailwind? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

Please keep it up, this is starting to be fun...lol

[volare737]

I guess you refuse to at least google max tailwind for jet aircraft takeoff or landing. I udnerstand why you won't...lol

Still waiting here.

“Female” co-pilot was tranny ...

Hope this isn’t some kind of hoax to make us look bad.

[Jane Long]

Look it up.

Ask Grok or Gemini.

You will not pass ground school for a PPL.

“The intersecting runway may be shorter so it could accommodate a smaller regional jet, leaving the longer main runway available for larger aircraft.”

That is exactly what I’ve read.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

“confusing an aircraft that took off for the one that was inbound”

The pilot analysts I’ve watched think he confused two inbound aircraft. The CRJ pilot wouldn’t have seen the landing lights on the departing aircraft. But they were stacked up inbound.

You jumping out of an aircraft with a parachute has zip to do with an aircraft on approach or departure in regards to winds.
