This Is Beyond Stupid

[MIflyer]

The T-Craft BL-65 is a 1940 airplane so I think this story fits here. And this is far beyond stupid.

Taylorcraft BL-65, N29508: Accident occurred November 24, 2021 near New Cuyama Airport (L88), Santa Barbara County, California

The Federal Aviation Administration has found that Trevor Jacob, a daredevil YouTuber who posted a video of himself last year parachuting o...

What a dick!

Seen this last week, total moron!

I would not be surprised if the FAA doesn't have something to say about that...

 

[MIflyer]

As people have pointed out, there is a Federal Regulation that applies:

18 US Code § 32 - Destruction of aircraft or aircraft facilities

Not only that but what if the thing had started a fire?

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

If he did intentionally stage and crash this aircraft he needs some serious jail time. Beyond stupid.

 

[FLYBOYJ]

Looks like it happened n California as well. I'm surprised the California "EnvioNazis" haven't gone after him.

(sorry, not trying to be political)

From what it looks like, he was doing a stunt to boost his YouTube hits.

Lots of recent YouTube stunts for the same reason: more hits, more ad revenue.
Some idiots in the Bay Area recently took go-carts onto a freeway there and it's a freakin' miracle no one was hurt or killed.

And I need to know: the idiot said something in his vid about a dog getting in the way of his controls - please tell me there wasn't a dog aboard that plane!

If there was a dog onboard, he should have saved the dog while he was at it. Stupid sot. Should have his license revoked permanently.

He is an idiotic attention whore - butnif there was a dog on board, he should be castrated with a butter knife, so he cannot foul the world with defective genes...

I think a rusty nail soaked in Clorox vice a butter knife. Darwin wrote about people like this...

 

[pbehn]

Youtube was invented by Charles Darwin's great grandson (Internet fact)

Edit, this is now a peer reviewed fact, so it can be quoted anywhere.

Who in their right mind would have an uncaged dog in the cockpit of a GA aircraft? He's either very stupid, or a really bad liar ... or both.

A**hat

Or an "influencer" on Youtube looking to monetise airplane crashes and dogs in cockpits?

Or an "influencer" on Youtube looking to monetise airplane crashes and dogs in cockpits?

i.e., a really bad liar?

 

[hawkeye2an]

Criminal waste of a classic airplane and if there was a dog involve this guy should be strung up and...............

 

[MiTasol]

washed with skydrol while he is castrated with a blunt power hacksaw blade.

For those non industry people Skydrol is an aircraft hydraulic fluid that is fireproof up to 3500 degrees (cant remember if F or C) and causes extreme "discomfort" when applied to soft tissue like eyes and between legs.

Skydrol enema

Can't we just shoot him?
