Default Walk Around And Flight In Real P-38

This man died following his dreams. However the film he created is so good that it seems worth sharing with the community...

NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD
WASHINGTON, D.C. 20594

AIRCRAFT ACCIDENT REPORT


Accident occurred JUN-06-97 at TILLAMOOK, OR
Aircraft: Lockheed P-38L, registration: N7973
Injuries: 1 Fatal.


Probable Cause

Failure of the pilot to maintain minimum control speed (VMC), after loss of power in one engine, which resulted in a loss of aircraft control and collision with terrain. Related factors were: the pilot's improper fuel management and failure to change the fuel selector position before a fuel tank had emptied, which led to fuel starvation and loss of power in one engine; and the pilot's lack of familiarity with the aircraft, relative to single-engine minimum airspeeds.

Default See His Other Videos If You Like This One

Jeffrey Ethell made a series of warbird videos, available on youtube, which I find absolutely fascinating because the extent of my warbird experience consists of running Mr. Maddox's software on a laptop.

IIRC Steve Hinton was another of the pilots in the series.

When they talk about how a plane flies (easy/stable/etc), remember how skilled the person saying that is. Ditto for book quotes.
