zooms SnF mini rant

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

Jim
PSA Employee #521



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...

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.

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.

The address seems to have gotten eaten up. Just throw in the word

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...

Careful there... That lying ******* will call the cops claiming that
you sent him a death threat.

govern yourself accordingly...

Kewl! For a moment there, I thought the Post Office lost it! G

Now, for the next one! How many "Zeros" in the word "Z00M!?" (Trick
Question...I would love to see everyone respond on this one!)

Very interesting...I'll give this a look. Wouldn't that be funny if
Time didn't confirm the source? Right off the bat, ATC tapes would
have collected something of his presence.

I worked Production Control at Douglas at the time that they brought
the rudder and the vertical stablizer in after the accident. No sign
of fire. The photos of the aircraft pretty much confirmed what the
American Airlines DC-10 pilots saw that were behind the aircraft.
There was a trail of smoke, beginning at their altitude down to the
crash site, which was on fire at ground level, but not a plume nor a
fireball. The aircraft that hit the Aeromexico jet didn't burn, and
the Aeromexico jet wasn't a fireball in the photos taken of the
aircraft before it hit. I recently met one of the photographers who
got pictures of the aircraft as it crashed. The crash photography was
published within 24 hours here in Los Angeles. Anyone could have
concocted a story based on the photography.

Apparently Jim did, because there was no fireball as I recall. The
photos should be on the web to refresh my memory. The other
information is verifiable, true or false.

A very interesting story...worth looking into, to be sure.

These are the photos at Air Disaster.Com, a reference for Press
covering Aviaiton Disasters. The first photo shows the trail of smoke
as I described from the pictures I had seen. No fireball. No real
fire until the aircraft hit the ground, which the other two photos show
the aftermath of. Going to review that Time story above. I know for a
fact there are other photos of the DC-9 taken at closer range. No
fireball. No plume of smoke.

The sad thing is, this accident boiled down to a private pilot having a
heart attack, the aircraft straying into LAX airspace while his family
members tried to get control of the aircraft, before impact with the
DC-9. The horizontal stablizer struck the private aircraft and
detached.
