I just watched a hawk eat it and a beautifull big A-10 having the nicest landing of a lifetime. How did that stupid hawk cause the A-10 to crash again?

[Budkeywest]

@SvenOkonomi OK...Here it is....In the air: 1 Hawk and 2 A-10's. Hawk crashes into A-10 pilot #1...He crashes his A-10...see how pissed he is. A-10 Pilot #2 lands his plane without the nose wheel that was lost on takeoff. Final scenes of the video is carnage of the Pilot #1's A-10 that crashed as a result of the Hawk crashing into him. Did you notice the spotter on the phone? He did nothing to help and was on the phone the whole time. Must have been a pretty important phone call!

Man, you have to admit this was confusing. You refer to an A-10 crashing as we watch a Hawk nail a guy over and over, and never see the crash you're talking about. Small wonder people couldn't figure out what you're talking about.

[Budkeywest]

@carmium You must have missed the A-10 in the trailer at the end of the video.....They guy who got hit was flying the A-10...and it crashed.....all in all....pretty crazy turn of events....Thanks

[jiuop]

wait so the guy who got knocker over did he crash his plane into himself or what i dont understand?

[Budkeywest]

@jiuop The guy who got knocked down was flying the A-10...and it crashed because he got knocked down by another pilot who crashed his plane into him.....

THAT'S LIKW SAYING DON'T DRIVE if you can't afford to crash!!

[stikmunkey]

You know I've been to a lot of jet shows and only 1 out of 10 RC jet guys can actually fly...the rest just shows up with the most expensive jet models to compensate for their flying skill.

The Person most at fault here was the spotter, shit happens and peolple lose control.

But the complete and utter idiot talking on the phone on the flight line which could and has caused interference with the radio controllers not to mention he wasn't paying attention and warning other flyes of an inpending problem.

Twat!

@Budkeywest the man on the phone was not his spotter just a spectator standing close to Bob

How absolutely stupid to have the pilots scattered down the run way like that.

They should all be at the end where the aircraft and approaching and have a spotter who is not using his mobile phone. Very sad for the A10 pilot.

The 'Hog pilot was a lucky S.O.B

Confusing video especially with the crap music blasting over top !

With no pilot stations and/or only a low snow fence for protection....I wouldn't fly a multi-thousand dollar jet or any of my planes without a better constructed fence !

[carmium]

@Budkeywest Oh, no, I saw the wreckage and figured it out. That's not to say everyone else did! 8-)
