Red Bull Pilot Buzzes Control Tower
I'm not a pilot ....just love aircraft, but this seems like crazy, stupid, idiotic antics by the tower allowing this. Not just one time either. (www.military.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Hey, when you live and breathe aircraft...
Orville and Wilbur would have never flown had they been subject to the micro-managed, over regulated aviation environment of today.
That was a great video, looked like the pilot had several hundred feet clearance. The turn around near the end was GREAT!Nice post/.
THAT was cool!
totally outstanding..Wish I was in that tower.
Don't get me started on the FAA. As a government agency, they are as bureaucratic and as screwed up as any other agency.
They are mismanaged from the highest levels and regulations are designed as a blind one size fits all which prevents the promotion and expansion of General Aviation when over zealously and blindly applied.
At the same time, they cannot deal with many of the real blatant safety issues out there that aren't so random, paranoid and what-if based.
They are a lot like speed trap cops that go after low lying fruit of speeding because it is a easier law to enforce by automation and it pleases the loud and skittish. Enforcement by lowest common denominator.
They don't ever go after the obstruction of traffic that is a far bigger cause of accidents.
FAA inspectors fight the same sorts of enforcement restrictions and prorities from on high.
