Both strapped in? Must have been the rapture. Anyone have any information on this?

HAHO = High Altitude High Opening

HALO = High Altitude Low Opening

HANO = High Altitude No Opening (you make an impression on the ground)

Poor guy. Hopefully his family is coping.

Unfortunately for us, the same fate didn't occur to Mohammad Atta about 18 months ago when he was taking lessons.......

"instructor pilot, the only other person on board, was concentrating on a steep turning maneuver"

must not have been very coordinated turns..

note ..more training in steep-turns needed.

Hi there :)

Come here and check this out...

In flight, it takes tremendous exertion to open door of a Cessna 150, 152, 172 or the like. You are pushing about 1000 square inches into a 80 knot wind!

Pipers are easier (any low wind aircraft is because of laws of aerodynamics I won't do into here) But in a high wing A/C, such as Cessna mentioned above, even if unlatched, door opens about three inches and is very hard to open further.

This was no accident.

Hmmmm

The latch on 152s is not very solid. I've had the door on 152s open a couple of times on me in mid flight.

But if he was strapped in it shouldn't have been a problem. Hmmm...

Kremmer said the co-pilot - whose identity was being withheld pending notification of relatives - had a pilot's license but could not fly alone because of an unspecified medical condition.

I guess he showed them. Not only did the guy fly without a pilot's license, but he also did it without a plane.

This is out near my neck of the woods! And last night I heard a thud outside. Our dogs were barking...

It turned out to be a fallen tree limb.

I'm still here so it couldn't have been the Rapture.

I've been listening to the Chris Baker radio show and they are discussing this accident. Some people have brought up some great points. First - there's no way they opened that door. More than likely, if the guy's dead, he died before getting in the plane. I don't believe they've found a body yet. I personally think they are pulling an insurance scam or they took off with the guy on the wing seeing if he could hold on.

I heard that the nazis had a airborne brigade that didn't use parachutes.

Sustained 100% casualties. Poor devils.

This guy must of had wings. A human drops like a watermelon... wave your arms and legs all you want.

SQUISH!

[Old Professer]

This guy's name wasn't Cooper, was it?

[Travis McGee]

HANO.

[2Jedismom]

Ping! Thought this might be something you might find of interest or have some knowledge of.

[DCPatriot]

Another case of Clintoncide, IMO. ;^)
