Hunter Hawker down

[Luvrv8]

Looks like ATAC lost another Hunter Hawker on approach into Pt. Mugu around 5 today. Pilot did not eject and passed away.

He died. He didn't "pass away."

That should be Hawker Hunter.

Glad I gave a couple something to correct, my day was a success.

NTCSB posted preliminary findings with no cause yet - will take time. Hopefully not a repeat of the one 2 1/2 years ago in Mugu downwind leg, couldn't transfer fuel, engine quit, below 1000 ft. Hunter has a hydraulic control system which quits working when the engine fails - change over to manual controls takes 5 to 10 seconds.

"1. a system of government where those least capable of leading are elected by those least capable of producing and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or to succeed are rewarded with goods and services paid for with the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers."

I believe that is called Social Security.

And a whole raft of good ones.

Sad thing for the pilot, the family and the service.

Which is why I stick around and just try to filter out the pettiness.
