Duh no bs on that one!Originally posted by oatburner99 View Postbeing a dumb ass, and having settling power....GE-701d engines or not, you don't do a RTT that low in altitude.
Real question: That maneuver could have brought them safely back in? Looked like a controlled crash attempt. Correct sequence?
Better yet, a video of a successful attempt!

MUCH lighter (3000 lbs Max takeoff weight versus 23,000 lbs), but a lot of other factors play into that mishap. The main one, pilot error. The pilot made a bad decision and it cost the taxpayers an aircraft.Originally posted by Forever_frost View PostKiowas are a lot lighter aren't they?"It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself."
