Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Glad there were no injuries or damage to other property. Bet he's gonna be grounded for a bit while they sort things out. And you know the maintenance crew will be grilled too. Here's some more pics: Busted F-16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Given the issue of a crash, the good fortune that the pilot escaped apparently unharmed, and nobody or collateral property was damaged, I would say it turned out rather well. But it only serves to reinforce my conviction that God did not intend for man to fly. Had He done so, He would have provided the means to do so. Given what He did provide us with, and the number of people that inhabit the earth, we seem to be doing a pretty good job of mastering them.

JMHO He did, BMC, when He gave us the intellect and curiosity to investigate and experiment. Opposable thumbs don't hurt either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Harley, #14153 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 There's that moment of realization that he's too fast to stop in time and too slow to accelerate and do a go-round. "Aw Shucks" says he. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Bob #35998 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Sadly, they have already taken it out ours. I would have been squealing like the wimp that I am. I don't mind paying for something like that. I have issues with a LOT of other stuff. Shutting up now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
