There was a CJ-6 crash in the Ocean off Sydney Saturday according the the Pacific Wrecks site. HVD IV has already passed judgement so I had to make a comment or 2.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi well you read about planes crashing into the drink and you never expect one to do so near you! A Nanching CJ 6 crashed off Warriewood a beach in Northern Sydney today. The pilot died unfortunately and the wreck is visible in 8 mtrs of water. Apparently he was on an upward loop then he stalled plunging into the water. It was a new build plane a copy of the 50s trainer used by the Russians and Chinese and a relatively cheap warbird. Cheers Rod

Hi Rod:
Many inexperienced pilots have died, because they are overconfident and start doing low level aerobatics. Their passion and enthusiasm exceeds their good judgement and skill level.

HVD IV aka Mr. Chris,
I would have thought by how you'd have learned not to make reckless assumptions. How do you know the pilot didn't have a medical problem or there was a mechanical problem with the airplane???
You should forward your expert opinions to the crash investigators.
I'm sure they'll appreciate it.
