Stout whatever came from that plane crash a couple years ago? It was a well known guy I can’t remember his name. I want to say he crashed around Hackberry

You’re a pilot, IIRC.
What’s your take? Seems like he would have had a mile or two at optimal glide ratio.
My best guess is that he lost power, tried to turn back, and stalled in the bank.

tale as old as there have been inexperienced pilots behind the controls, not being a smartass but that’s been true in many, many accidents

Yeah I’m not clicking on that. God bless that family.

rying to figure out what would cause a crash two miles out. That’s not a stall-on-takeoff scenario. Sounds like power loss.
Likely a power loss. Looking at the photo with his flight path and the damage to the aircraft, I would guess he had a power loss and tried the “impossible turn” back to the runway. The end of the graph indicates a stall/spin likely caused by him holding back pressure on the elevator attempting to maintain altitude.

There are some users that have bots or others post controversial comments in hopes of increasing their views. Some even have multiple alter accounts and do it on their own. I don’t know if this is one of them. But all of the videos of this user do have a lot of clicks and comments.

You guys are still being swayed by fake accounts, bad actors, and foreign governments into hating your fellow countryman.

You guys act like everything is fake and/or a bot, and we didn't just have a huge meltdown over Sydney Sweeney that proves there are actual sick arse people who hate the other political side with everything they have.

That was Rock Palermo and Don Clements.

The NTSB report outlines the final moments the craft was in flight. It said the plane was traveling about 4,500 feet above ground as the air speed decreased and began a slow descent. The descent then increased rapidly. The last 12 seconds of recorded data show the plane made a right turn and descended 3,200 feet leading up to the accident.
The plane impacted soft, muddy ground near Hackberry, causing a crater that extended 15 feet deep and covering the majority of the plane.
The autopsies of the victims reported the cause of death for both was multiple injuries sustained from the crash. Investigators said there was so much damage it limited how much they could investigate. In the end, because of the extensive damage it was ruled that it will ultimately remain a mystery on why or how the aircraft lost control.
Palermo was an instructor on the flight and Clements was a student. Both men were well known in Southwest Louisiana and had touched the lives of many.

4th closest time Ive come to getting killed was in a Mooney doing touch & gos.
Low-time pilot coming from a Cessna got mixed up and hit the retract gears thinking it was the flaps.
He realized it a moment after he did it.
Cupped the prop, juiced it, and barely made it over the pine trees at the end of the runway.
He is still my very best friend to this day.

Not surprising. Liberals also celebrated Hulk Hogan’s death. They’re all pieces of shite.

This happened in Nampa, the next city over from where I live. Sad story to say the least. Hit the community pretty hard.
Posted on 8/2/25 at 9:47 am to stout
Seems like we see this a couple times a year. Some dude with a massive ego getting his family killed in some shite plane. Just stay your arse on the ground , you’re not a pilot.

It can be done.
An instructor pulled the throttle on me in a Grumman AA5. “What are you going to do, Rancho?”, he smirked.
I was young and full of piss and vinegar. And I knew the airport and every inch of the surrounding area. Also I was somewhat higher than usual when he had tried this before. I brought her around.
Now this old boy wasn’t your ordinary flight instructor. He’d flown for the CIA in Nam, and the right seat had to be modified to accommodate his balls.
He let me dead stick that bad boy. This is made somewhat more remarkable by the fact that the AA-5 wasn’t know for its stall friendly characteristics. Quite the opposite.
I sweet talked that thing off its wings and on to its wheels, grazing the numbers.
He pulled out a Marlboro red, lit it, then offered me one. (I was 16.) “Not bad.” That was the biggest compliment I ever got from him.
