Stupid doing what he loved Comments. He died failing in his hobby. What a looser

Man be silent. When did people get this disrespectful? Very easy to talk trash behind a computer.

@@leon4000 when people start fake crying like this?

@@maxmoritz5065 All I know is this. Pilots, Wingsuit flyers, anyone that does anything death-defying...they have their reasons why they want to see the world in a different way or wow the crowd, facing their own fears and they knew that for something like that even one thing that goes wrong can get them injured, wounded, or worse death. It's not a laughing matter nor should it be a disrespectful one. These people had more courage facing their fears than some people who struggle with it and at worst, never overcome it. Granted all of that can be done on the ground, but some people prefer to push their own limits in ways that's never been done. At the very least there should be respect for the dead despite some of their choices that put them closer to death just one mistake away. Even if some people are right about certain choices, the way they carry their tone is disrespectful. So cut some of the deceased guys a break. They're gone and that's it.

leon4000 when did people get disrespectful? 2016 US election didn’t help...

TREMENDOUS

Show some respect.

clearair no one cares tho

The video was pretty in tents

We saw enough. Plenty. Looked like one more stall / spin accident.

Imagine getting killed to some obnoxious American kiddie flick soundtrack...

Derk doing dangerous things and died because of bad skills... Leaving his family alone. Having money and a license doesnt buy you skill.

I get that people point this out, but apparently it bothers someone to not leave it alone. It's already enough that it happened. People whoever do this to whoever says dying doing what they loved. Give it a rest.

I doubt very much that he was loving it at the end.

Well, better than "dying doing what you love" is "doing what you love and not dying". To be fair, though, the comment says 'doing what he loved' and not 'died doing what he loved'.

Yeah very sad, it really looked like a beautiful, awesome show. But this must be extremely difficult and everything has to be perfect.

To annoy people, and make them stay at home

It keeps those who know what they're looking at away. Good commercial sense, it's called. It was a sad loss of a skilled pilot and and an increasingly rare aircraft. - and I couldn't hear anything of the aircraft's engines, so who knows if he lost power until the fan blades are dug out of the ground. Horrible.

Someone's read the instructions😂😂

Or more precisely, exceeding stall angle, but that is directly related to stick position. Notice how in the first part of the sequence they were in a good formation but #2 began to lose horizontal and vertical position more and more up to the excessive elevator input that caused the G-stall. I'd give pilot incapacitation a big vote here, stating well before the impact.

Actually, that was the opposite of irony.

SMEF Spade Rest In Peace

Your uncle couldnt fly bro.

@@maxmoritz5065 POS

So sorry you had to see that on your birthday. I'm sure he was a great guy!

He was F.U.I... (Flying Under Influence)

Oh come come, these are all seasoned flight sim players!

Lol

Duan Strydom Has offered his babble on the event

Exactly my thinking, although the pilot was consios according to the final report, because he broke the stall and rolled back wings level before hitting the ground.

No, it's a classic accelerated stall, right wing goes down, aircraft rolls inverted. I had bad feelings then he tried to catch up on the leader, cut across the top of their last dive, ending up doing the pullout lower and at higher G loading.

@@rnzoli Oh I didn't see him go inverted. His accelerated stall looks quite brutal, was he a non-professional?

@@pascalchauvet7625 I had to look twice to realize that. Here is the final report, courtesy of Rodger Stone: www.caa.co.za/Accidents%20and%20Incidents%20Reports/9054.pdf You can see the still pictures explaning the accident sequence. The pilot was aerobatic rated, so no issues from training perspective, but safety briefings on the day of flight were omitted. Probably hitting the wake wortex of the lead aircraft contributed to the accident as well.

@@rnzoli Thank you so much for your help

@@rnzoli exactly what I thought

He's an NPC. Too busy to see how many likes he got on his ugly selfie

Do you know exactly how the wake may cause a compressor stall? Too much air at once?

I agree with the angle of attack, but I think what made it go so terribly wrong was that the he hit the vortex of the other aircraft. He seemed to get a really awkward lift there right as he crossed the smoke. Almost looked like a stone skimming the water. He seemed to lose quite a bit of airspeed too, probably stalling at least the right wing. R.I.P. Gianfranco.

Surely the cause was that the pilot simply G out , lost consciousness the plane was without a pilot in control for the last few seconds

Does that mean he pulled up and increased load factor and that kind of was accelerated stall?

@@millimetreperfect it did seem like he did pull up at the end of the loop

@@millimetreperfect Surely not. That wing rock is due to the stall. I will agree that he wasn't in control though. it does look like he made a slight attempt at a recovery right towards the end though

He flew a lot.

He was a very well rounded aviator with more hours under his belt then most will ever acquire. A private owned jet fatal occurrences are very few and far between. I’d love to hear some statistics on that matter. Cheers

And how many boaters die each year....?

I agree, he pulled too many g's on the curve and blacked out...

If we assume the flight leader (front pilot) was speaking, then the calls make sense with what was observed.

He screwed up and stalled.

Why fly a plane for no reason?? Its not a toy... I do not understand some people.

@@robertdenro9348 if you have tasted flight then there is no reason needed. Still safer than a car...

@@robertdenro9348 because hobbies exist. You may be too poor to enjoy the hobby, but there are others who are fortunate enough to fly planes for fun

​​​@@siddharthsharma8940 Flying is more like a skill and passion than a hobby. Painting is a hobby. And your vocab might be "too poor", but you can always google and reply, rather than insulting others due to lack of knowledge. 😊

Individuals with far more money than skill.

Definitely pilot error, as the report stated it.

Pilot error stalled

Look again, there is a stall, flick and dive too.

Why fly a plane for no reason?? Its not a toy... I do not understand some people.

@@robertdenro9348 it was a display it was for a reason he just misjudged the loop and overstressed himself and the aircraft and crashed.

@@robertdenro9348 Why driving a car for fun, or a motorbike? Why go climbing, running, swimming or horse riding? Why going to your favorite sport club to watch them? Why go drinking? Ask yourself. I do not understand Robert Denro!

Wrong and Wrong again!!

yep, I remember the last time there was an airshow in my town (amigo airsho, very well respected show and pilots loved flying here in El Paso before the airshow flopped) well anyway I remember that airshow my brother and I met Joe Shetterly, when my brother told him he wanted to be a doctor and a pilot (oh the dreams we had as children) Joe jokingly told my brother that doctors that were pilots always crashed cuz they were too darn arrogant and then got serious and said, "when you become a pilot always realize its not a toy and to fly the way we do is incredibly difficult and one second can mean life or death" Note that I was 12 and he was 14 at the time so what he said wasn't like something you'd tell a little kid but we were old enough to understand what he meant. And it sucks to see videos like this where it manifests.

@@nickdavis965 That pilot's attitude is certainly appropriate. I attended many airshows as a kid, and this feels very familiar. It also makes me think about how many injuries and deaths could be avoided if driving was treated with the same deadly seriousness. Oh, well...

No

could not.... no hss at these lowspeeds...

to many G's, the load factor was to much for the plane to fly, adding G.s is like multiplying the weight of the plane to a point that it becomes too heavy to fly.
