what took them so long. we did this kind of stuff on armed forces day in 1963, 1964 and 1965, at mcguire afb with boeing c-135b's. (1962 built aircraft) if airbus wants to play, show us their version of the barrel roll that the original boeing 707 367-80 did in 1955.

something has happened to the new york times.used to be that opinions or guesses or unsubstanciated events were listed as such. now, it's anyones guess so it becomesnecessary to take articles with a grain of salt. also, a 90 degree bank at low altitude and slow airspeed would have th atrcraft sideslip into the ground.

first and most importantly, heartfelt condolences to the families and friends. ================================================== i am flying blind here. using only the video and my own experiences but to me, this is the only way any of this makes sense i will be watching for the results of the investigation. here goes; the placement of the camera and its focal point makes it difficult to determine whether the tail had dropped or if the aircraft was in stand on your tail, climbout i settled on an outboard engine failure. the aircraft is doing a stand on your tail climbout this puts it on the raggidy edge of everything aerodynamic aoa is very high outboard engine fails asymetrical thrust causes a violent yaw toward the bad engine. fuselage masking blocks airflow over the dead engine wing lift vanishes and the wing stops flying and drops the aircraft rolls toward the non flying dead engine wing. bank angle is near 90 degrees aircraft is now doing a sideslip and rapidl

"Securaplane's main buildings were burned to the ground when a battery test went wrong" what they don't say here is that "an investigation into that fire determined the cause was the set-up of the test, not the design of the battery or the charger." looks like headline hunters strike again.

lion batteries are everywhere. in laptops, cell phones, tablets, etc. i have searched the web and have found not one lion pack has exploded, caught fire, etc in the past two years. the original issue with the lion was that system designers assumed that the lion was like any other battery. so just shove a bunch of volts and amps into them and all should be fine. well, it obviously wasn't. with the advent of proper safety and charging systems, this issue is pretty much a thing of the past. until now !! what is needed now are cool heads, like those who contribute here, examining all aspects of the issue and contributing there thoughts. what doesn't help is the self styled experts jumping into the conversations with statements like "Quoting sources that would speak only on the condition of anonymity" or that the battery in the boston incident "exploded causing severe damage to the airplane" or my favorite, "Securaplane's main buildings were burned to the ground when a battery test w
