I pissed people off with this one. I love it. Nobody has a sense of humor anymore...I'll change my opinion...This pilot was a hero by making radical changes to a plane that caused a mechanical failure that resulted in his death and the death of others. The pilot's actions were a heroic attempt at Social Security Reform by lowering the number of people that can receive it.....everybody happy now????

There is an interview with the man that flew this plane about how he made the tail 5' shorter on the rear wings to make it faster and said it has not been tested yet but hopes all goes well. So sad! Did not go well. I like the sport but you have got to admit when doing something this extreme there is a lot of risk for all that is present! God be with these people there family and all there that had to see!!!!!

You Are Right........

@kevinmcdshotday You're hilarious! I can't believe people don't get that a low life like you, talking shit about a guy who was twice the man at 74, as you are now in your 50's, is truly funny. If you ever hurt someone in an accident I hope people take what tiny charactor you have, and trample it into the ground.

That 74 year old grandpa in which you allude to was in much better health than you were before you discovered ignorance and beer. Next time you take a turn upwards of 7 g's at 500 mph let the world know. Until then enjoy your shots and continue to google insults.

Your alright man. I agree some 74 yr old millionaire flying his multi million dollar plane.

In a race that it doesn't matter if he wins or loses, he ends up killing murdering innocent people. For his hobby. How did he even get into the plane, or did they lower him in on a hoist. Would he still be flying at 90 or 100?

Sarcasm is the domain of those without genuine wit or intelligence and is on display here so that all can see your ignorance and arrogance. Quite pathetic really. A typical loud and ugly American. I'll bet this loudmouth is nothing more than a gutless coward. Shame the plane didn't crash on your house.

[shawnjohn0369]

shit happens. you don't have to automatically blame a pilot because hes a senior. I'm tired of this bullshit where people think its funny to disrespect seniors. i bet this dude cant fly but hes good at running his mouth when has no idea what happened .

[SnoutDonuts]

yeah because 4 year olds can fly high performance piston engine aircraft.

On a side note, that Air Force One joke was pure win lol
