zooms SnF mini rant

When I was Zoomed by phone, the issue of his credibility as a test pilot
was one topic. I told him that while he might consider himself a
test pilot, a roomful of test pilots would not.

If you consistently find yourself on the wrong side of a consensus, it
might be you.

I love the part where jim says "jims a better test and evaluation pilot than any
other publication has (as we've been told by experts)"

What surprises me is that the Rocket Racing League is so desperate to
give him credibility, they have gone as far as to indicate in his bio
that he tested something like 1100 aircraft since the age of thirteen
and gave evaluations on them. I questioned who cares what a thirteen
year old's evaluation of an aircraft is three years before it's legal
for him to have a license?

Now, Jim's bio is removed from the Rocket Racing League site, as I
believe soon, so will Jimbo the Rocket Clown be removed.

If these people are looking for credibility, they won't gain it by
having the likes of Jim Campbell with them, and for that matter, Mike
Houghton of the Reno Air Racing Association. He has all but killed the
races, which he publicly stated last year will be around for eight more
years, though estimates are less than five. Houghton and his crew sold
the land to the Airport Authority of Washoe County, and the latter
wants to build an industrial warehousing and manufacturing site on the
racecourse lands. Houghton was a member of the AAWC at the time, so it
equates to land fraud and local FAA bimbos are acting as consultants on
the deal.

In the meantime, RARA and RRL have announced they'll be holding RRL
events at Stead, and Jimbo ~ according to Jimbo ~ is also going to be
flying in the Sport Class beyond the RRL.

Has anybody checked this guy's Flight Physical as of late? Has anyone
checked his Pilot's license? In fact, has anyone checked Jimbo's meds?
Or Jimbo for a relapse?

Truth be told, Jimbo never got well and he's still out there playing
Captain Zoom. Hopefully, the next time he catches something in his
teeth, it will still be an ultra-light and not the leading edge slats
on a Boeing 747, ala PSA in San Diego...

Forget Captain Zoom...Jimbo the Rocket Clown is Captain "Doom" for
sure...only a matter of time, since the FAA continues to sit with its
thumb up one of its A's and allows this clown access to aircraft and
airfields.

And he still waltzes around playing journalist and acting God in real
Aviators' lives, though he has no Journalistic ethics. He won't pursue
stories critical of his "friends" and he'll stab others in the back if
it's to his greedy benefit, including individuals with good cases and
Journalists seeking his help to help others.

Sun N' Fun is correct in banning him from all grounds. He's a
nuissance lawsuit just waiting to happen, and the best way to avoid
that lawsuit is to not let him in. He's a clear danger to himself and
others, including Law Enforcement, Sun N' Fun Staff, Pilots, Vendors,
Press, and the Public. This is NOT the type of individual you want to
allow anywhere near your aircraft.

My two cents...

PSA flight 182 in San Diego was a 727, not a 747.

Which is why I said "ala" PSA...it just means he takes down something
larger with more people...but in the same manner as PSA in San Diego.
The principles are the same. Both aircraft require working leading
edge slats.

The main issue is: we didn't want PSA to happen, but it did. The
government sang and danced their way out of that one, as they will with
Campbell. He currently exists as a threat because of their failures in
following up on his medical condition and continued proximity to
Aviation. His condition is unchanged over time, which means he likely
isn't getting any meds or treatment, and his denial isn't going to make
that situation better. They (the FAA/NTSB) need to get tough with him.

Mr Bear

Don't forget his zzzoomness once wrote about the day he was flying over
L.A. and saw a flash of light. He turned toward it and watched the
AeroMexico DC9 going down over Cerritus. (sp?) California.

That's one I hadn't heard of...do you recall where he published that?
Has he made any other similar claims? I'd like to compile a list of
his claims for purposes of verification, true or false. I'm going into
Court here shortly in his regards to put a stop to his misconduct once
and for all times.

My e-mail is published so I have no concerns over posting it he


Please write me there and let me know. That statement is easily
verified true or false, and needless to say, Captain Zoom's history
does not bode well for Truth. But I do like to verify things. One
thing's for su since I've become a student of the Zoomster, he's
been an interesting study. However, his abuses are going to end.

Sep. 15, 1986.
Private Pilot Jim Campbell, flying at 1,500 ft. near Los Angeles, could
not believe his eyes. Looking up, he saw a flash of light 1 1/2 miles
off to the left of his aircraft. The fireball turned into a plume of
black smoke, and Campbell watched in horror as a huge DC-9 airliner
dropped its nose and rolled to its left. Twisting upside down, the
wounded aircraft picked up speed as it plunged toward earth. " Oh!"
shouted Campbell to himself. " Pull her up. Pull her up. Oh, pull her
up!" In the cockpit of Aeromexico Flight 498, Pilot Arturo Valdes Prom
was helpless. Glistening behind him in the noonday sun...
