I have a t-shirt commemorating the Sky King. (Search Etsy). An old codger at Home Depot saw my shirt and he said he used to love that show back in the 50’s. I said, ‘huh’? Never heard of it’
I said my shirt was about a guy that stole a plane, did some flips, and then crashed it, he was dubbed the Sky King. The old codger said, ‘huh’? Never heard about that’.
We stared at each other and nodded…we probably could have been friends, but no more was said.
The engineers know the limits. You can flip a lot of aircraft, thing is, this puts enormous stress on it and it'll likely not pass muster for another flight.
If only Richard "Sky King" Russel had only enrolled himself into a flight school taking flight lessons once a week or month and knuckled down with his life for a few more years. Then just completely refuse the vaxx. He'd be able to be that pilot he'd always wanted to be, but for more than once.
bit of a gamble with the take off just showing up randomly on the runway, could of gone way worse and potentially killed hundreds for his little stunt.
Because it looked like a small uninhabited island, and he was running out of fuel. He could have survived, and he did survive the barrel roll and other feats...... He should have lived. Realistically, he probably wouldn't even have done much jail or prison time, even though he said to ATC they would lock him up for life. He was a "just a broken man"
Why crash there? Why take a plane. . . I don't think we can answer that for him.

This is the life of men. We did not choose it, but we know it is right.
