Yea ,,guess your right it was being operated illegally..It was , in this instance, a weedhopper two place and the pilot was a 3000hr. plus pilot with the last 1k or so ferrying crew members to offshore oil rigs in helicopters. He was commercial for both fixed wing and heli's. I'm not a book on this stuff,,just an ultralight pilot . They took off to do a sky diving run to 3k feet and was caught by windshear from a near by cumulus and spun in from about 1500 feet . A regular long time Ultralight pilot had warned the pilot about the condition of the fabric on the Ultralight prior to take-off and even suggested using another plane sitting near by. The fabric tore in flight just above the right struts and it spun in to total destruction and two fatalities . I was there and the mood was excited and full of laughter and good times on a holiday weekend . It could have happened to any of us in a moment of weakness,,Like Ah hell,,I can do it !! attitude..

OK<<OK So I'm Halfway right about the heavy metal, flying,,and say about half that way on the diesel engine,,SO all that measn is I'm right fifty percent of the time,,,, or just half off ..It's nice to be close to the mark once in a while.. Since 1972 I have lost six flying friends to the Grench!! it always hurts and the T V cameras are not there to help make your sport the best sport in the world..I never said these ul pilots could land these tanksbut I'd be willing to bet a small wager they could take off and fly ... but thats not th point. Most pilots I have spoken with have an ego problem.. Some say it's needed to do what they do. Our world has become so small that we are now looking at the small things that separates us and then makes us better than the others by some small way.. It's going to be pure hell for these guys to live in heaven knowing that everyone is the same..What will we look for then,, I have one more feather than you on my wings?? It won't matter then ,,why should it matter now?? have a great day rejoicing in the lord.... Bring the ten commandments back to school...Gods love be with all of you and blue skies around you .........was mars "wesleymarceaux" <wesleymarceaux (AT) cox (DOT) net> wrote in message news:ea5zh.331$OY.100 (AT) newsfe20 (DOT) lga...

Christians have a more violent history than the Islamics! Wow! heavy stuff for an ultralight forum! Anyway - 10 commandments apply equally in Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Funny that, hey?
