It appears that standards of flying have gone down hill since the Baron past on! :o)

"Clearly guardian angels had a hand in the outcome," Grossostheim police said in a statement about the incident.
Oh, yes, CLEARLY that was the case. It's just a shame it was too much work for them to actually have the plane MISS the car in the first place.

Well, he survived; doesn't that put him one up on the Red Baron?

Hi

He does a hammerhead, a sort of stall turn followed by a tailspin. In the early days of aviation, when the Baron trained, a spin like that was considered fatal, and not to be entered. In the 20s and 30s airforces spent a lot of time training for recovery at higher altitudes because it WAS considered fatal, but happened a lot.

So, just "same ole' – same ole'"

"Oh, $#!+…" I can practically hear it being uttered as the plane gets lower and slower….
