CTV national news last night showed the crash. Idiot Lisa LaFlamme said plane landed upside down.


There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB.
The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed.
There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

That was a perfect crash landing. The tree took all the energy of the impact out of the flight and set him down nicely.

Everyone's talking about the pilot when the tree did all the work.

I see people at the grocery store that can't park that well.

Oh I am certain the pilot had that exact result planned out in advance as he descended, just like a good pool trick shot! wink
