good!

That allows the question:
WTF?

What happens to a pilot that destroys a multimillion military toy?

Maybe that pilot also had a brain damage like the guy that shot 16 civilians.

Speaks for the design of the flight cell... Wow, holy... A bit too much self-confidence...? He certainly owes at least a few beers to the ground staff, if that still does...

I've crashed the KA50 in DCS Black Shark a few times doing this trick. Maybe he got caught out settling with power in the initial descent,
plus the thinner air of mountain ops - bad. Who knows?

But yeah - they are built tough.

Depends.

If it belongs to the other chaps then he gets a medal [:D]

If it's one that belongs to his lot then probably a one way chat without biscuits with his boss.

My experience is that they promote him, give him a medal, and then post him to the Pentagon to work in the procurement contract office.

Ok, sorry...can't do it. But I'll curtail my first instinct henhute6, and just say this. What makes us different, is that in my country that absolute tragedy gets reported 90% of the time and our general public is disgusted and we resolve to see justice done.

In many OTHER places (not naming names) the same sort of thing on a more massive scale would be hidden and never admitted to and would likely be accepted as proper or righteous.

There is nothing proper or righteous about what that Soldier did. But if the middle east would sack up and fix their OWN problems, he might never have been there in the first place, and we'd have been happy if that were the case.

All I will say.

Mods, recommend we lock this thread.

A double-shot of Bushmills Black Bush neat, please.

If this individual doesn't have something like Tourette's for an excuse, then I pity him.

He's gonna say the wrong thing IRL to someone and . . .

He has the understanding and world-view of a 7 yr. old.

I'm first in line to cut up and have fun. BUT I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF HIS HATEFUL SPEW!

I'm sorry if I've stepped out of line.
I have a subtle and cunning plan.

Nate, you have not stepped out of line. You are right in line with the rest of us, and the line is getting longer.

You are wrong, however, about him saying the wrong thing to someone in real life one day.....he would actually have to leave his mother's basement for that to be possible.

Fortunately, I added Stormwolf to my green button list two days ago - ten years with Matrix Forums for me and but two green buttons.&nbsp; I reserve this for only the lowest of lowlifes.
&nbsp;
Since I acted proactively, I haven't had the displeasure of reading whatever he's written in this thread thank goodness.
&nbsp;
I don't think I had heard of Commander Stormwolf - or at least noticed him - until about three weeks ago.&nbsp; Since he signed on in 2008, at first I thought he was a veteran and therefore probably reliable.&nbsp; After reading a few of his posts, I wondered (seriously) if he has ADD, testosterone problems, or was the worst kind of young, hyperactive male that is unable to control his impulses.&nbsp; A few days after that, it was time for the green button.

And the more we discuss him, the more he masturbates to it. Matrix is aware of him, both from earlier posts and this thread.

+1.

My good humor is restored by that last post.

What a picture. You can't help but laugh.
