Almost saw someone crash

description given, there were plenty
of witnesses to make a case, plus there's going to be a record of the
damage
to the plane.

Heresay....
From the description given, the only charge that might stick would be flying
an unairworthy aircraft and performing an improper pre-flight, depending on
the extent of damage the wing actually has. Then again, her legal counsel
could claim it was a bird strike (no matter that the bird was still in a
tree).

Secondly, so what if this particular case isn't the one that
gets her? Unless people are willing to report irresponsible piloting like
that, the FSDO never has a chance to even start building a case.

And, perhaps the pilot likes to pander to the over-reacting personalities
for entertainment. The equivilant in a newsgroup would be a troll. Do we
call the authorities for everyone who trolls this group?

As for her attitude becoming "more cavalier", I can't imagine how it could
be any more cavalier than it already is. Just how much worse could she
possibly get? She's already nearly killed herself, running the plane into
something in flight. Any more cavalier, and she won't be a problem
because she WILL be dead.

An enforcement action will change her ways. NOT!
She will likely continue to fly with a suspended certificate. Doctors and
Bonanzas- 'nuff said.

Face it- You weren't there. You can surmise all you want, but you weren't
there. I'll repeat this again for you-

WE NEVER TAKE OUR PROBLEMS TO THE FAA. THEY HAVE ENOUGH PROBLEMS OF THEIR
OWN.
