Posted: 08:12 - 24 Aug 2015 Post subject: So The Display Jet Crash Pilot........... |

.............was/is a cowboy
ITV just said he wasn't scheduled, was the original pilots cousin filling in, and hadn't flown this type of jet the required amount of hours in a certain amount of time.
Ban low flying manouvres over populated areas? Or accept this crash as a one off accident?
hot off the press...link to follow as soon as the internet catch up with ITV TV ____________________ Space Is Deep |

It's incredibly rare for bystanders to be harmed at airshows in the UK by the aircraft. There's a much better case for banning motorbikes than banning airshows |

Quote: | Andy Hill, 51, from Sandon, near Buntingford in Hertfordshire, is a former RAF instructor and British Airways pilot. He is also an experienced aerobatic stunt flyer who has performed at shows up and down the country.
Mr Hill was pulled from the burning wreckage, with multiple injuries. He was placed in a medically-induced coma and is now in a critical but stable condition at an unnamed specialist hospital.
His family said they were devastated and deeply saddened for the loss of life, and sent condolences to the families of those affected.
The flying of the Hawker Hunter jet at air displays was shared between Mr Hill and another pilot, Chris Heames, who was on holiday when the crash took place.
He says he was shocked and confused when he learned what had happened.
"I didn't quite understand how that could happen, because the airshow rules that we fly to are very stringent, and they are specifically designed to protect the public," he told the BBC.
He described Mr Hill as a top RAF pilot, the "cream from the cream" who had been selected to fly the Harrier.
"He was one of the guys who would always go out of his way to help others," he said. "He worked for British Airways and in the time he had available, he helped other people learn to fly ex-military aircraft."
George Bacon, of the British Air Display Association, who has worked with Mr Hill, told BBC News he is an "unbelievably experienced" pilot, and his preparation for air displays was always "second to none". |

"Well I'll be blown.............that the first time that's happened....they don't usually do that"
