Aviation "Squiddy" - 172 Stunt Flying over Richmond Hill

Dude will never fly a plane again...
 
Why didn't they shoot him, he was threatening people with a weapon?
Will there be a crackdown on planes now much like what happens to the rest of us when some "rich kid" plows his parents expensive car into someone?

Seriously, what was this guy thinking. He must truly be stupid to think nothing would result from his actions.
 
Just another moron out to screw everything up for everyone else. What happened that people today are so ****in stupid :rolleyes:
 
They raised a generation of wimps and gave them everything.
They do not seem to understand the concept of cause and effect because they were coddled or shielded.
They feel entitled and are unappreciative.

The way some of these guys today act/speak to older people today or people that are less fortunate than them e.g. I only ride with Ducati's or you must have a Ducati (insert 2013 bike here) to hang with us. This attitude of trying to denigrate others is visible.

It tells me these wimps have never been in an old fashioned fist fight or got a slap for their stupidity.


Sure it would be fun to barnstorm, but then again it's called barnstorming and not buzz the parks and neighborhoods like this imbecile did.

I think this one goes up similar to doing 150km/h on a 400 series highway. At night on the 401 towards belleville or another empty stretch of road I think the risk is fairly low - 5pm Friday after noon through Toronto - Not so much. Having flown a Cessna 170 I doubt there was much real risk but it certainly wasnt the time or place, simply put the guy was an idiot.

Exactly.

And the pilot will likely get a similar penalty to a "+50" speeding ticket.
 
"Look mom, no hands!"
 
Altitude is your friend. If the engine lost power a 172 probably drops about 500 feet per minute. At a thousand feet up he would have 2 minutes to make an emergency landing. I don't think he was that high and the engine sounded fine.
 
I don't see what the big deal is. It's not much different than someone playing around on their jet ski in front of their cottage. It's a big air space up there. It's nothing to get all bent out of shape about. Pilot must have been inspired by the air show. :rolleyes:

Air regulations are : minimum altitude over a "built up area" is 1,000 feet AGL (above the ground) unless taking off or landing.

Over the street, that guy was a couple hundred feet at most.

Engine failures are rare, but they do happen. Engine-out, a C172 drops "like a rock" (~700 f.p.m.). At ~500 feet altitude, .... do the math, he wouldn't have much time to do an emergency landing.
