  • The final blame was with the airport worker who incorrectly parked the car in the taxi area.

  • all you kids who talk about not seeing that car...you don't know anything about these aircraft. here's lesson 1: in ww2 the planes were bult with really big powerful engines on the front. they raised the front of the plane to make room for the big props. these were were small planes and that means the nose was pointed high towards the sky and it blocks the veiw of the ground in front of the plane till the tail was up in the air. and it was done by every country with their fighters..

  • Mounting a video camera somewhere up front sounds like a really good idea. I can't see the FAA saying too much, as this would definately enhance safety. I would mount it somewhere clear of propwash though.

  • You need a clear taxiway and a good ground crew to direct those planes because of their huge blind spot.

  • These days, a nice little camera [like the backup camera on new cars] can be placed on the fint-bottom of the aircraft's nose to allow the pilot to see in front of him.

    Sounds like a nice idea?

  • @yakovlev3a Yer looks like one, theres not really much els it could be with the pointy tail...

    Poor forward visibility is common with tail-dragger aircraft while on the ground. I don't a see ground helper in the video. In any case, the car was parked in the wrong place by a ground worker and it wasn't the pilot's fault. I believe this airshow was at a Navy base, so I'm sure somebody got yelled at afterward.

  • the plane simply wanted to mate with the car and get a baby plane

  • The aircrafts propellor is probably worth 50 times what the shitbox car is worth!!

  • @coolakiIlen007

    The pilot was not at fault, as determined by the investigation. It was the ground marshal who left the car in the active taxi area.
