accident

Per CNN: https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/14/us/hot-air-balloon-crash-eloy-arizona-deaths/index.html 4 fatalities, 1 critical injury :(

https://www.cbs17.com/news/north-carolina-news/pilot-injured-after-small-plane-crashes-near-church-at-nc-coast/ This makes two here in the last 90 days, and four within 50 miles…what are the odds of that? At least this time, the pilot is okay.

A friend called me about this earlier today: https://www.wjhl.com/news/local/small-plane-crashes-in-johnson-county/

This is an excellent video by Joe Casey (DPE) on Spatial Disorientation. Some of the illustrations and techniques in this video are eye opening. Ways to show the effects of SD and ways to avoid SD begin about halfway through the video (see they guys spinning with the bats - LOL). Enjoy!

Just wondering how many of you have experienced an unintentional stall/spin before. What plane were you in and what did you learn from it? I have only done them intentionally in a C-152 and found them hard to get in to. I know it is much easier in a less stable airplane.
