Peter Lynch was well loved and liked along the Queensland eastern seaboard and central Queensland. He also spent time with a couple of other good Drivers in Indonesia.
I've has a couple of thoughts about this accident but out of respect to those who have passed away I shall remain silent.
But I noticed some similarities to the B-52 Bud Holland crash at Fairchild Airforce Base. I reiterate some similarities, not all. Namely;
- low altitude flying and sharp turn in a larger aircraft type not easily and normally put through such a manoeuvre.
- operational pressure; pressure to perform in circumstances not usually encountered or normally flown regularly by the PIC
- possible distorted judgement; a breakdown of wise judgement and sound decision making due to adrenalin and pressure to perform in front of tens of thousands of people watching your every move, within a confined area that had little room for error built in, and again in unfamiliar surroundings.
They are my only thoughts. Just a few out loud ponderings while the accident remains under investigation. Certainly I am not comparing Peter to Bud Holland as Holland was an almost certified fruitloop, narcissist and complete rogue. I am comparing the aircraft configurations and circumstances including both accidents occurring at an air-show.
