The vents on most GA light aircraft are simple. They allow slight and equalized positive pressure(good) and prevent negative pressure (bad). A bit of positive pressure helps ensure fuel is being delivered to the engine, with or without a fuel pump. Many light aircraft don't use a fuel pump, especial...

I'm definitely no expert but comparing the jets to the "object" I'd say hawk, falcon or crow size...bigger then a sparrow but smaller then an eagle.
Maybe it was a drone, but it is most certainly gone once the jet passes, immediately followed by "pull up".
The engine in these is small as well,

These last 2 screen captures show pretty clear, and anything following there is no sign of the bird.

That's probably the best resolution for video that I've seen in the media. Has anyone else noticed the bird go into the right hand intake at 3:57 - 3:58.

It was actually damaged quite nicely, not a cloud in the sky, lot's of audience, and severe bend in the spar, up about 45% just outboard of strut (corsair style). That wing won't fly again this week.

Even though the report says fog, I know we were experiencing snow off and on till late in the day. Visibility kept improving then dropping to near zero instantly. I wasn't onboard though so perhaps it was snow with fog over the water?

I actually did the ICS course 30 years ago, and found it tough enough even though I was working in the industry at the time. Not much differance online, or via snail mail. The TC exams were fewer then and the cost was a whole lot more reasonable to write. I think I paid about $50 for the whole TC pr...

A little more fuel for the confusion... Your C of A will list the conditions that must be met for your C of A to be in force. First one on the list is item 5, after all the A/C particulars: 5. This Certificate of Airworthiness is issued pursuant to the Aeronautics Act and certifies that, as of the d...

Time for some facts. Sorry I haven't posted earlier, been to busy. Anyone involved will know who I am and my involvement with WCA. I have the pic's and NO they will not be made public. The being posted would serve no useful purpose for the pilot, the company or the west coast aviation community. The...
