I was hoestly half asleep on the couch with the live ADSB feed on the TV when I heard 2KK say a plane went into the water. I just got up and recorded it off the TV. Horrible tragedy, ive flown into to EAA Airventure 10 plus times with my Dad over the years so you really hate to hear about these accidents.

Oh no, so sorry to hear. Tragic, hopefully the NTSB can figure it out.

She only had like 200 hours flying a T6, I wish she wasn't flying it.

Dang it! Sorry Bud. Thanks for sharing.

Stall Spin. You cant get slow in this high prop torque aircraft

Typical female pilot with too much family money and not enough experience in a FAR too high performance of an aircraft. Pilot error. PREVENTABLE.

Owned by my local car dealership owner lol.

The T-6 is actually supposed to be placarded “intentional spins prohibited” if you look at the TCDS, presumably due to its recovery characteristics (I think the FAA requires a 1.5 turn recovery?) so if it caught her by surprise (stalling out of a loop maybe?) she may very well not have had time to recover, and even if she had all of the correct inputs in, may not have had the altitude to recover.

@@thatstinsongirl Yes thank you for adding that part I couldnt remember what else it was. The T-6 is not approved for spins by the FAA. It doesnt meet the recovery standards. Even in a plane approved for spins the begging phases and first spin doesnt count. So in a T-6 your going to have to take the ride before you can recover and it has to be done correctly. You maye be right I forgot she was well below the safe recovery altitude. 6,000ft is acceptable for a experienced pilot I believe the video I watched said. But during training in the war they spun them at no lower then 10,000ft and apparently there were more casualitys in training then in war due to that. I dont think she knew what do to do. Witnesses said she didnt even attempt to recover she let it fuly develop because spins arent really taught in pilot training now. They reccomend spin prevention.

@@Darkvirgo88xx Yep, if it caught her by surprise (which is my assumption) and she didn’t recover immediately, she may well not have had altitude to recover, regardless of how much training she had. Anyone commenting that she should’ve had spin training in the T6 needs to realize that it is not legal to do so in the US, based on the FAA restrictions. Spin training is great, and I think it should still be mandatory for PPL in the US (spin training has helped me out a couple of times), but I have been told by several T6 pilots that if you don’t recover in the first turn and a half in a T6, that you just have to put the inputs in and wait, and hope you have enough altitude to recover. We don’t know if she tried to recover, we don’t know how long it took to recover, and we don’t know if she and her passenger were in the process of trying to bail out. There’s also always the possibility that something else went wrong; it was an unrestored airframe. We won’t know until the final report comes out, if they even come to a conclusion. I am assuming that it will be something along the lines of “pilot error due to failing to recover from a spin that occurred for unknown reasons”, so we may never get a real answer as to why it happened.

@@thatstinsongirl Thats what I understood too. But it is not FAA approved for spins and the spin recovery the FAA approves doesn't even count the beginning and first few spins so it must be a handful. I may be wrong but also the Cirrus planes with the parachutes that is really for it to pass approval because its also nasty in spin situations but it can be used in other emergency situations. They basically use that as a marketing technique in my opinion that's why people crash them also.

Pilot error and totally PREVENTABLE.

A 100% preventable crash. Inexperience played a MAJOR role in this.

Could be, it certainly happened fast. Really makes ya sick just hope something can be learned and passed on to other aviators.

Terrible loss. I see that too. The climb at better than 100 kts. Then the decreasing airspeed while still holding altitude, then the sink then the acceleration.

This is what happens when you allow inexperienced female pilots to fly much too complex of an aircraft. Pilot error and totally PREVENTABLE.

@@V1AbortV2What does female have to do with anything? You can find a few males a week who stall-spin it in.

@@V1AbortV2what does gender have to do with it? Plenty of men stall/spin every week.

Yeah he gets to the point and as much as he can be tough it only helps pilots. I flew a T6 when I was 12 with our nieghbor and that is a very heavy airplane on the controls. I was used to our 1955 Cessna 310 which folks consider a bit heavy on the controls and it was like a sports car in comparison. The main thing I remember is doing a turn and Andy saying "You have to stand on that rudder Jeffrey and get the stick over twice as far as your doing!". In no way is an airplane like that easy. Even though it's a trainer it's the step just before an airplane like a P51 for a reason. It will be interesting to see what comes from the NTSB, so sad. Thanks for commenting.

Correct. Dan leaves no questions to be answered and that is what is needed for an honest assessment of aircraft accidents/incidents.

Its interesting... he did a seemingly pretty good job covering the T6 accident, but he did an absolutely abysmal job covering the incident with the cub and the young instructor. It was borderline insulting to be honest...

@@ericmiller4285 actually Dan was correct that the CFI in the Cub would likely have survived if she was wearing a shoulder harness and yes, a low altitude turn back, for the simulated engine failure was a mistake. Truth hurts, but Dan is passing on insightful advice to learn from and avoid other pilot's unfortunate mistakes or circumstances.

@@ericmiller4285 Dan's analysis of the Piper Cub accident with the female pilot was SPOT ON. When will the industry start ignoring POLITICS and STOP ALLOWING these low-time female pilots at the controls of complex / tailwheel aircraft? That's the real issue here. Are CFIs just going to keep signing off female pilots because they think they're "cute?" Or because the female pilot knows how to "play the game" when she struggles on the flight controls or with her decision-making abilities? But noooo, we can't discuss what REALLY matters here.

Unsure

Yes

@@jacksaloman9513 Oh, no, what a terrible loss for the families, and for the entire warbird community.

@@johnosbourn4312 😢

El Viaje De La Dama Española - The Journey of the Spanish Lady How's that crow tasting. There is an article on warbirdnews about that aircraft and the . Snippet from article La Dama Española (The Spanish Lady) will be flying into AirVenture in Oshkosh with a mission to encourage people to engage with history. The Reiley family can often be found at events and fly-ins with a line of people waiting to see their aircraft, as they enjoy engaging with the public and passing on the history of these lovely warbirds.

Chickie poo should have received the Darwin award for her phenomenal flying skills. 💯

Yes ran an air museum in the San Antonio area

More so they, "Ran a tax shelter so her and her hubby can avoid paying the IRS." Corporation registered out of Delaware, with a "museum" HQ'd in Texas. Ridiculous.

This is what happens when you allow inexperienced female pilots to fly much too complex of an aircraft. She got slow, stalled a wing, and entered a spin. Pilot error and totally PREVENTABLE.

Cursed? What else happened?

@@hockey161616helicopters crashed into each other. 2 dead

Yeah it was bad this year for accidents. Prayers for those families

This is what happens when you allow inexperienced female pilots to fly much too complex of an aircraft. Pilot error and totally PREVENTABLE.

@@V1AbortV2 well... why only mention Females? The accident with gyro and heli was men....but you refer to inexperienced female? What about inexperienced male?

I guess they went in hard, unfortunately. 2 souls

Just took off from Oshkosh

They had just taken off

I remember flying one with our neighbor when I was 12 & it was a bus no doubt. Even though I was 12 I was used to flying a 1955 tuna tanked Cessna 310 with my Dad which is not light on the controls. Compared to the T6 however it was like an RV. The one thing I took from the T6 was the mandatory use of the rudder pedals.

EXACTLY. But, she was "signed off" by a MALE, who most likely found her "attractive" with a "great personality," blah blah blah...and guess what? She's dead now because of it. She had NO BUSINESS flying that airplane. Her landing, earlier in the air show, was quite apparent of that. We have become such a submissive and weak society and have lost the courage to tell people "NO, you really shouldn't be doing that."
