How many g's are required for the "gentlemen's" ACM routinely flown by these outfits? In the T-34 accident last year, a video recording showed the aircraft on the INSIDE of the turn (the one that didn't lose a wing) pulling 5 gees - in a turn. I have no idea what is required - but 5 gees with a rolling component is excessive. Saying and doing are two different animals. Since you seem to give some import to this comment, how many g's did the 'student' apply as a result of the comment - asymmetric or symmetric? Enough to pull the wing off. Dance around this all you want - these weekend warrior operations account for a minority of the flight time of T-34's, but they account for 100% of the lost wings. It's not the airplane - it's the operation. Michael |
