Ground looping (into wind) before you hit the fence is to prevent fencing wire cutting your throat. I wouldn't consider doing it for any other reason. The engine in front of you is a good barrier. If you have to land on top of trees do it at the slowest groundspeed you can without losing control. Low trees are better than tall ones. Less distance to fall. Nev -
Haven't you got anything better to do??

Balloon fall in Victoria
facthunter replied to danny_galaga's topic in Aircraft Incidents and Accidents
Might Have panicked. Great flames above might have been disconcerting. A tragedy anyhow. Incidents are fairly common. Nev -
Well you are not meant to reply to "Silly Pictures". I'm invoking the 5th amendment. Nev

What did you think of it? Nev

I haven't whinged or complained about anything except some implied expectation the information will somehow appear in front of us, automatically and that we are here out of an Interest Primarily about AEROPLANES still has significant relevance. Nev

Balloon fall in Victoria
facthunter replied to danny_galaga's topic in Aircraft Incidents and Accidents
The headline is misleading. The balloon didn't fall. An occupant who was in it, did.. Nev -
Do you think that is an equivalent. I don't. Nev
