Available evidence indicates he "assumed", *without* *confirming*, that persons there "would" provide assistance for him to get the rest of the way 'back to civilization'. I dunno... let's look at this emperically... He diverted to a pre-planned emergency landing site, he obtained fuel, he continued on his way and completed his journey. Forgiveness wins out over permission again! FALSE TO FACT. He got out *only* because somebody (Brit. Polly Vacher)who _did_ properly plan ahead for a flight through that territory HAD ASKED PERMISSION, been granted it, and *HAD*THEIR*OWN*EMERGENCY*FUEL*STORED*THERE*. She encountered weather difficulties, aborted prior to that point, and thus was able to offer her own private stock of emergency fuel to Johanson. The fact that she _did_have_ private fuel stored there is absolute proof that Johanson *could* have done so as well. That fact shoots down any possible defense of Johanson's actions as regards *competent* contingency planning. Johanson is enough of a bozo that he _will_not_ "learn from experience", either. He has publicly stated that on a future attempt he "will _not_ do anything different". see: http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5744,8183083%255E1702,00.html So what have you done besides write like a moron? That "bozo" as you call him has done more with his RV-4 than you can ever hope to do with your pitiful life. People like ought to go crawl in a hole and pull the dirt in. BTW what is it that you fly and have built with your own hands? Lets hear about your great accomplishments in aviation. |
