NTSB question

I consulted with them on the John Denver crash. There have been other
Long EZ crashes into the ocean, with fatalities, that they never
opened a file on.

Odd...I just did an NTSB search for accidents on "Long EZ" and came up with
two pages worth. Even the non-fatal crashes took over a year to investigate.


They did an investigation into the prototype Berkut crash. They never
talked to us,

Who is "us"?

they didn't get copies of the videotapes of the crash.
They just waited a year and issued a report saying it was an
acellerated stall. It wasn't - that much was obvious from the
videotapes.



But it got the file off someone's desk, and didn't pin
the blame on anyone who might object.

Doubtful.

If it hadn't happened at an
airshow I doubt they would have opened the file in the first place.

They do.
