Franklin franklin you should be ashamed of yourself. you have no details of the incident other than what maxwell posted so you are not in a position to judge him. you have no idea what condition the cable actually was. if the aircraft was refuelling it made the last flight ok and there is nothing to say that the pilot may have been correct. in this world you are free to make your own choices ...and wear the consequences. when was the last time you flew an aircraft? tragic as it was maxwell isnt to blame. Stealth pilot Stealth pilot, Maxwell's self-admitted failures are easy to read. See, he is not complaining about my pointing out his failures. Why do you? Franklin |
