Badwater Bill has left the earth to soar with the eagles!

OK, so long as we are wild ass guessing, consider this scenario... Engine fails for whatever reason shortly after takeoff. *Knowing the landing is about to become rather bumpy, and having survived a few forced landings, Bill opens the canopy on purpose so that it doesn't become jammed due to impact. *(Yes, that is instinctive when an engine fails. *Trust me.) If distant student-pilot memory serves, it was even printed in the Cessna 150 pilot manual to open the doors before a forced landing. On an airplane like a Lancair, it would seem that this would be an even more important thing to remember. It is completely believable to me that opening or at least un-latching the canopy was high on Bill's priority list if there was a serious problem. The NTSB investigation, bless their hearts, is all well and good, but for better or worse there is an eyewitness who will probably be able to fill in a lot of blanks when she recovers. My initial Google search on this brought up a discussion thread on this or some other forum, where some poster by the screen name of "ladypilot" posted a very inappropriate slur about Bill at a time like this. Now Bill was no stranger to mudslinging, and at most times enjoyed the challenge very thoroughly. But I'm fairly sure Bill would have had the class to simply stay quiet if someone he disliked or disagreed with had crashed and died. On behalf of the "old" RAH crowd Foxtrot Yankee, "lady-pilot". You ain't neither. Bill Berle |

I can't recall if there was any header proof to back that denial up, but I think there was. This did not sound like the act of the lady-pilot that used to be active back when Bill posted frequently. I think they were even friends. I could be wrong, but don't be too quick to jump on her, before you do some investigating. Slander through posting as someone else on the internet is a common, and growing, thing. I personally think it is lower than low. -- Jim in NC |

With all seriousness, I just want you to know that anybody who does something like that to me would be in line for retribution with extreme prejudice and without the slightest hesitation. I don't stop until I get what I want when I'm motivated to be on the trail of anybody who stalks me. You see- I have, in reserve, my own tactics for getting back at people, and many connections with people who will do things for me (and I for them.) |
