Hi Folks

[quote=Rats404,Oct. 21 2009,01:12]I know it's a plank, but when I came across this clip I had to share.
for the non-pilots, CFIT is Controlled Flight Into Terrain - a killer of lots of pilots.
Watch it soon, because I can't believe this will stay up long - the FAA will be very interested in this one I reckon.
A very lucky bunch of guys flown by a very stupid pilot

CFIT - Close call
I've never felt so frustrated....... died so frequently/spectacularly/or needlessly....... yet had so much fun, in a long time.

Bl**dy Hell!!!! 
Nutters!! Well the pilot I mean, could not believe my ears afterwards, were they actually laughing at the damage? Or was it just an expression of relief?

I used to be an optimist but with age I am now a grumpy old pessimist.

I believe it's an expression of relief, it's apparently not uncommon in people who've survived near death experiences. Something to do with being in shock I think.were they actually laughing at the damage? Or was it just an expression of relief?

Laughter is the most effective meathod to release stress/shock... Was the best meathod in the fire service when i was in, but was only between ourselves and thats where it was left at...

Lets see how many violations you all can spot in that video -- I managed eight.
