Week of flying fun continues in Indo.

Sulawesi to Jakarta, pilots fell asleep at same time, FOR 28 FUCKING MINUTES. Plane veered off course.

I remember being on an internal flight in China, looking out the plane window, and realizing we were going to take off well below IFR visibility minimums due to the smog. Then I realized the pilots were just doing the ground roll on take off and pushing the autopilot button for the rest. This was confirmed when that Asiana flight slammed into the sea wall at SFO on a VFR day with no crosswind.

Tour Helicopter fatalities in the Hawaiian Islands from the years 1984-2022,

57 - DEAD

40 to 50 - Injured


Military Helicopter/ Rotor Air Craft Training Flights in Hawaii, most likely a lot HIGHER.... Too many to count!

Couple of the worst ones.

Pilot Error, Lack Of Training Blamed For Deadly Marine Helicopter Crash - Honolulu Civil Beat

Search suspended for 5 missing aviators aboard downed Army chopper


In the "incident" of the 2 CH-53E's.

Two, big, old, machines, flying at night, in formation, in bad weather, with the Pilots wearing NVD's...


So...WHAT could go wrong ???



I am goinoutside now..the statistics speak for themselves...and for those who died... in these insane machines...
