Fatal L-39 Jet Crash Reno

[kktr1000]

if the recorder had his camera on a few seconds earlier,, he would had have the perfect angle..

dont u guys think?

[Lufttraktor]

go looking by my channel.

[tomcatdrivergypsy101]

@fsx737200 different event. The P-51 crashed this year, the Albatross jet in 2007 or 8 I believe. Let's hope that the air races are continued!

[chuy5892]

que feo acidente estubo gacho =(?

[ALLERTORLOVER69]

man  i love the sound of those trucks. i just wish i could hear it at a diffrent ocaision in stead of a disaster

[xXBOst]

@boomerwy R.I.P im so soory D:!

[Zyworski]

This is the second major accident at Reno that I am aware of, and it makes me wonder if something can't be done to improve safety.

[Rowi73]

@Zyworski Yes, just quit the shows. It would save a lot of money.

[Zyworski]

@Rowi73 What do you mean quit the shows, military airshows are my one and only chance to see my tax dollars at work?

[fsx737200]

P51 Crashed Not A Jet

[eatingcatshit]

I see no jet crash. Shouldn't that be "jet crashed"?

[iQuicKScopesUPS3]

Lmao pugghead wake up kid. There's others videos showing the plane crash sorry to break your heart.

[Miguellovesvictoria]

I don't know u but sorry for the lost, lets pray

[kell612]

Some people are such ass holes this was my uncle and you have no right saying half the crap that's said. Why can't people just be respectful. He died doing what he loved. Rest in peace brad you are very missed!! :(

[carl2017]

@pugghead You are truely an obtuse cretin.

[pugghead]

@carl2017 

[Interfacex]

a 74 years old pilot flying a 70 years old airplane, well what did u expect top gun. get a life, this is reality not hollywood movie

[YonDailyGossip]

"Like" this comment of you think Bush, the CIA and the Jews done this

[otherworld90]

@YonDailyGossip 10 hours and still nobody "likes" your comment. Why? Because you're an idiot. Oh and it's a TWO letter word, hard to misspell "if" unless you're a three year old.

[GameStudiosNL]

America will probably blame some arab terrorist for this again so they can start another war for their beloved money..

rip for the dead

[imold54]

I was there working in a plane and my legs were in fire from the flames and I'm at the air races this week and a sport plane crashed today

[jeffcannel]

whats the point of posting a video showing how you missed the accident??

[torch39]

At 00:40 a guy in a white T-Shirt walks up with Corn on the Cobb and munches while watching this. Shows how the public acts.

[3nasacova]

Humans have done a real good job figuring how to move quickly, but a piss poor job figuring out how to stop quickly.

[jithization]

R.I.P pilot

[Superegio42]

That's going to leave a mark.....

[mskiUSMC]

well thats no good.,.. :(

[michaellonkouski]

I was about 400 yards away from this crash at impact, we knew instantly what had happened...

[MrRokNRoll]

I agree, atleast it was quick and he loved what he did the only better death would be when you were sleeping atleast your family would know that your death was peaceful and not violent or anything like that.

[19thSFGA]

Way to much airplane for civilians.Wether at an air race or airshow civilians keep augering in whats left of the warbirds this is becoming more dangerous as these pilots have more money than skill they quickly end up in trouble how long before they slam one into the crowd just a matter of time.Money is not a shortcut to experiance.

[lkaasikmae]

@19thSFGA Too much airplane for most civilians. Some are as good as some military pilots, but I stress the two "some". Compare the Breitling jet team (some ex-military some civies) to certain military pilots. I feel the civie/non-civie gap is smalest among helicopter pilots (comercial helicopter pilots such as oil rig maintenance, logging industry and power cable maintenance pilots).

[straighttailpilot]

man. I remember watching miss ashley 2 go down. I got really sick that day. Cant imagine what it was like to see this right infront of the stands. I guess its a price to pay for the thrill. rip.

[speedymorse]

i was there when that happened

[legoryan9]

Great job hope to see you soon.Alans Son RYAN rockey

[upajos]

I witnessed a collision between two racers at Reno in just about the same position around 1980; one instant fatality, the other a few hours later in hospital. I turned my head just in time to see the fireball plunging to the ground. Due to the low altitude at which the racers fly, unless one happens to have a camera already trained on the aircraft, one will miss the entire event. It's over in a second or two.

[childsca]

At least he died doing what he loved. I could think of no better way to go.

[STANWL66]

dupa nie film

[seangerritmoore]

Slide sideways in to your grave with a bar of chocolate in one hand, and a glass of wine in the other yelling, "That was one hell of a ride!"

[corebare]

He flew into the jet wash of the jet in front of him, and it flipped him over. It happens in racing sometimes.

[ww2footage]

well ,he has good death, many old people etc slowdy dies in agony in hospital for years ...

[umahuma4]

He died doing what he loved. Thats how i want to go. Dieing doing what i love most.

[poptartpencil]

@umahuma4 same here i have always wanted to be a racers since i was like 3 and 11 years later (im 14) i still want to even with all the horror crash videos as long as i dont fell it, thats how i want t go

[devine666darkness]

With death coming whilst your doing what you truely love...is not the horror that most fear

Honor him for doing what he loved

[Mr4TeaParty]

@devine666darkness Amen and amen! Can't ask for more than a quick death while doing what you love. Don't feel bad for those who are gone, and pray for the families who are left behind.

[boomerwy]

This is the first time I have seen this or any other video displaying the crash that my cousin Brad Morehouse died in. I loved Brad with all my heart no one could have asked for a better friend, cousin or confidante. He was my dad's hunting partner and good friend. He was an honest businessman and perfectionist. If any one knew Brad you always went away from him smiling. I miss him soooo much. Thank you for letting me share.

[JW550]

Thanks for the comment, I , like every pilot, share your loss. I just got home from this years event and luckily it was accident free. The Jet class thrives and has become a big part of this event, I wish I had met your cousin another way.

[Betchacantflythis76]

@boomerwy

where one pilot dies another blooms!! R.I.P. Brad we will all miss you, i had the joy of seeing him fly and i have been there for a long time watching people fly!!

[jithization]

@boomerwy Sorry man. R.I.P Pilot

[Andreaslillfreakact]

@boomerwy was he the pilot?

[testpilot51]

@boomerwy I was there, witnessesd this and I have to say that He knew the risk when he signed the paper to compete and he will truely be missed!!!!!

[wagz420]

@testpilot51 he wasn't the pilot dude..

[chubsmagoo]

That was for the guy saying she pulled more g's then she was suppose to, not you Katana.

[blackhawkce]

come on man.

[jmvneto51]

What happen...?

[TheJapanChannelDcom]

fly aircraft radically close to the ground and dying is well possible..

i dont see the point

[ChasenSFO]

And...if you drive on the freeway you might get in a car accident and be killed that way. But people do it.

[TheJapanChannelDcom]

Sure!

And I choose to fly aerobatics above 3,000ft so I get all the rush, but if I make an error I have time to fix it.

Maybe I love living too much :-)

[lkaasikmae]

@TheJapanChannelDcom I'm not sure you'd get ALL the rush but you'd definately get more than a simple cross country, ascend, level off, cruise, descend, aproach, land.

[onjoFilms]

I hope he was wearing his seatbelts.

[seanmanibog]

I love living in Reno when the air races are here. I was there when that happened.. sucks. Dangerous stuff those guys do.

[MclarencarV]

It always seems that Someone loses their life every year at the Reno Air Races. It's like playing Russian Roulette if your a pilot. Only so many times can you come to Reno >.> Could you imagine Voodoo coming down. >.>

[JW550]

No, he did not.

[Familyguy098]

lmao i jus realized i asked that without looking at the title. lol omg!

[qricardo]

@Familyguy098 yes he did die.

[8literbeater]

@Familyguy098 "fatal" means that someone died

[MrRokNRoll]

Thats to bad but would be a sight to see its a shsme how crashes are so spectacular but deadly.

[lkaasikmae]

@MrRokNRoll It certainly is a spectacular way to go, and you're doing what you love. It's the way I'd chose. Very sad to see someone loose their life though. But at least it wasn't from some horrid lingering illness, quick and doing what one loves.

[JW550]

There was a fatal, early in the week in trials. Wings came off a bi-plane. Sad, but much safer than last year !

[wingsfan2520]

Thank God no one died this year. It was my first year at the races

[pyropig7]

Ya they did. That lady in the biplane crashed, pulled way more G's than she was supposed to and her wings ripped off.

[katana4]

She was in an F1, not a biplane.

She did not pull "way more G's than she was supposed to" like you said.

If you don't know what you're talking about - shut up.

[marksmen]

I was just at the Stead Air races today. Thank god no one crashed. Did see the Thunder birds and F-22 Raptor perform today.

[cdoug25]

wow, where abouts was this?

[JW550]

Just in front of the pits.

[Tinman4000]

that makes me sick to my stomach :/ poor guy

[ShiekUrBooty]

Poor people don't own L39s, poor people own recip twins.

[JW550]

As with the past 14 years, I will be there this year. Hopefully it will be an accident free event !

[Drummingknight]

Yeah, some have hot seats, however, this is a sport thats nearly twice as fast as nascar, they really dont have time to eject. besides that, theyre looking to strip down planes to make them as fast as possible.

This was the second crash that week.

that was a bad year for rara.

Hopefully this september isnt as tragic!

[IK1963]

When a jet goes in that hard there is no need for the fireies and ambulance to hurry.

Salute to the pilot. Condolences to family and friends.

[wlollpop]

not to criticize the pilot but cant you eject in l-39's?

[JW550]

I am not sure this one had hot seats, and often they are disabled, but this happened so fast and low to the ground he had no chance.

[Nmemonicus]

These type of crashes will always occur in the sport theres just no way around it an element of danger is what draws alot of people to it its been like this since the races were held in Cleveland way back when as a matter of fact it was a terrible crash back then that got the races cancelled there and eventually saw them opening up in Reno its part of the sport like ANY racing there is danger involved its sad when it happens but its unavoidable at times

[igotbored44]

i saw this when i was there!!!

it was insane!

[gonasa111]

Wow that is sad to have your death viewed by 156,000 people on Youtube. Well I am still glad they have the Reno Air Races. Anyone reading this should go this year. The Unlimited class will not be around forever. They don't make Merlin engines anymore and there are only so many left. Same for the Pratt and Whitney radials. So go enjoy that sound while it is still around...

[JW550]

I agree, I have been going for 15 years and though I have witnessed a few fatal crashed this is not the reason to go, and is not the reason I posted this. It displays the danger and courage involved in this sport, much like car racing. But you are right that it is an amazing thing to see and hear when those engines make the turn from the Valley of Speed and go past the stands.

[moosiah]

was there

[proxus3339]

Pretty sad to have your death published as a youtube showcase..

[alaskanpilotsdotcom]

Check out NASA's wake turbulence tests. there on youtube. I was sitting in a booth at this race. They came around for the first lap and he did a complete roll. It was so perfect it almost looked intentional. As soon as he corrected he seemed to high speed stall after several quick up-down pitches. The plane landed perfectly flat on the runway, but with alot of force. I believe he may have over corrected. Im sure the controlls on those jets are extrememly sensitive, especially at those speeds.

[JW550]

Thanks Alaska for your perspective, it was a sad race year. I am wondering what RARA will do about it, if anything.

[Wallabee01]

Wheres the plane crash?

[carnifex3]

Anything moving fast through the air has more air resistance - simple. But when it gets into wake turbulence, it begins to flutter because of this effect. Eventually, it gets to a point where the the whole aircraft is pitching up and down, up and down. I tried this on a flight simulator in similar circumstances, Although I could save it because I was high enough to deploy a chute to control it, then bring the chute back in, put some spoilers on and pull up.

[Sigrafix]

You don't even sound like you KNOW what wake turbulence is smart guy.. wake turbulence is air displaced by the plane however what is truly a killer is the vortex of air both from air displaced by the tip of the wings and Jet Wash from large aircraft, that can flip/roll other planes close behind or even rip apart smaller planes that get caught in it.

[wrh61]

air displaced by the aircraft AHEAD of him . Similar to running over the wake caused by a boat your following . Wake turbulence in this case was fatal not necessarily because of it per say; but because he didn't have the altitude to recover from it. It's a wonder things like this don't happen more often at the races.

[carnifex3]

Yes - I do know what wake turbulence is. Just like normal turbulence, just stronger. When you hit something at high speed it can have bad consequences. Take riding a bike for example, if you were going pretty fast and you hit a small-ish rock, you hit it with such force that it has an effect on your bike's manouvering, which will in turn crash (probably). It can have different effects though, like what you said, but my reasoning is with a head on hit with wake turbulence, which effects pitch.

[Jordy9786]

That is really sad... I hope they live a happy life in heaven.

[Acinternationa1]

RIP

[CipherPixel]

People died all the time back when Car Racing started, now barely ever. They'll work out ways to get this safer aswell.

RIP Mate.

[rhgrsh]

RIP

[fenderish]

brad =[

[avi8or61]

I was down there in the box seats when this happened. I just posted a music video tribute to those lost this year at Reno.

[JW550]

Thanks to all for your comments, if anyone else has photos or video, please send along or post. It is helpful that we all understand and learn from these accidents.

[coltgk]

worlds fastest motorsport! He was the man. rest in peace brad moerhouse

[Jwmbike14]

i hate it when people bash on air racing, just like cars their are risksand everyone knows it, my family has been going to the air races since before i was born, thats more than 17 years... my uncle has worked it since the 70's every year!

this L-29 pilot was new to racing. he had 1000 logged hours, which isnt much compared to the other pilots... he also flew into the other jets wash, which your not supposed to do, either way its a loss of another great and daring pilot, Rest In Peace

[katana4]

It was an L39.

I don't know how much total time he had, but he passed PRS in June and therefore, was considered "qualifed".

Wake Turbulence is INVISIBLE - therefore, he did not KNOWINGLY fly into it.

[Jwmbike14]

DUH its invisible... but every formation trained pilot knows not to fly into it, especially that of fast moving, and/or jet aircraft... its something common formation, military, etc pilots know... and when it is strong it can kill you...

[TIMMAXJETT]

I concur with Kale414 on EnZoNaMi and you can add sexychipmunck's comment to that sentiment. Get a grip.

These guys who fly these things are to be admired for their skill and their courage. Although, they would say they do it for fun. Such a sad loss.

[steveduncandale]

What are you saying? It was God's will? Assonine observation. Thanks for that.

[a2g6d4k8]

THIS is why I do not race aircraft!

[justinfluegel]

I did not see this happen because I was standing under our MQ-1 Predator, but unfortunately I was watching when the F1's collided. If anyone has any questions about that accident I saw it very clearly and I'd like to squash any rumors that may be floating around. It happened in front of the military Static displays and was watching Messiah the whole time. Moorehouse and Hubler will be missed dearly.

[JW550]

Thanks for the response, this stuff is dangerous and we all know it. I have seen other fatal crashes over the years.

[135boomer]

I was standing on the wing of my jet when I saw him crash. It was intantaneous. He had no chance at all. It was so bad.

[JW550]

Yes, it was terrible, it is a dangerous sport.

[KimJongSick]

I was in the pits when I felt the ground shake and heard the explosion. I haven't been able to think of anything else.

[Suthuioth]

so was i... and i was there for the other crash on friday......

[bayfire66]

I was there when this happened
