Mr_sukebe Posted October 24, 2018 Posted October 24, 2018 I don't remember seeing a swastika on the aircraft.

Rudel_chw Posted October 24, 2018 Posted October 24, 2018 You didnt .. I doubt that the aircraft had one, as it's prohibited on most countries (not sure about the US) ... probably the OP is confusing the Balkenkreuz with a swastika.

Worrazen Posted October 24, 2018 Author Posted October 24, 2018 Incase that CBS video direct link doesn't work: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/plane-crash-on-101-freeway-california-today-2018-10-23-live-updates/ I don't remember seeing a swastika on the aircraft. Did I miss something? I've been hunting "plane lands on highway" videos for quite some time and ... After many years of these phenomena not happening, they seemed to start again, there was like 3 others this year in US that I remember, and one was just like a week ago so you might be mixing it with that one which was on Interstate 8, but this one was 101 Freeway. https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/california/Airplane-Lands-on-Interstate-8-San-Diego-498043921.html They're actually training pilots that freeways are preffered alternate landing locations, this may have been going on for a while I just didn't knew about it before I guess, or it could be a more recent training protocol. I've been thinking for years that FAA has to make some kind of standardization and formally recognize and provide help regarding freeway landings, they could even come up with some kind of procedures and other guidelines, like even includng such incidents in car license training and teaching the drivers what to look for: I was thinking of some kind of special downward and back light action and proper angled lights that would be activated on the airplane to warn the car drivers. The biggest problem is the drivers totally oblivious and keep driving forward, not creating enough space for the landing. Because the aircraft could be faster than the traffic ahead, some kind of additional indication should be done to let drivers know to more properly, because, the lights that would be angled backward, would be different, telling drivers to stop, and the ones who shouldn't stop should see different kind of light action pattern, including color. When airplanes land without engine power they probably have a different descent angle, but this system should be more dynamic incase the speed is higher and the angle would be different, these lights could be linked to the sensors (separate backup ones?) so the lights angle would be able to rotate and adjust automatically, it may also need precise ground proximity sensor too. The other questions is, how to make it work on so small aircraft, if you need an actual pattern, you need more lights in various places, needs to be small and cheap enough as well as an addon that could be installed without having reconstruction of the whole aircraft. You didnt .. I doubt that the aircraft had one, as it's prohibited on most countries (not sure about the US) ... probably the OP is confusing the Balkenkreuz with a swastika. Not me, I just repeated the sources, I would have corrected if I realized, maybe they rushed to conclusion. Modules: A-10C I/II, F/A-18C, Mig-21Bis, M-2000C, AJS-37, Spitfire LF Mk.

Emmy Posted October 24, 2018 Posted October 24, 2018 If you've ever flown over this particular part of the LA Basin, you'd know the pilot made the best possible choice. There is nowhere else to go. Too many hills and too much population.

Sokol1_br Posted October 24, 2018 Posted October 24, 2018 Balkenkreuz Nah, is just a "vintage era airplane with Youtube 'exit of full screen' icon. :D
Kang Posted October 24, 2018 Posted October 24, 2018 To be fair, the original video didn't mention a swastika but 'Nazi-era insignia', which the WW2 Luftwaffe Balkenkreuz pretty much is. If they went with the all-historic paintscheme the actual swastika would be on the tail and thus is missing from the plane there.
Mars Exulte Posted October 26, 2018 Posted October 26, 2018 You didnt .. I doubt that the aircraft had one, as it's prohibited on most countries (not sure about the US) ... probably the OP is confusing the Balkenkreuz with a swastika. It's not illegal here, and you would most likely see one on a historically restored aircraft. That said, the hakenkreuz was typically on the tail which the pilot appears to have misplaced somewhere.... Де вороги, знайдуться козаки їх перемогти. 5800x3d * 3090 * 64gb * Reverb G2
frixon28 Posted October 28, 2018 Posted October 28, 2018 Ewwwh is that an AT-6 painted up to look like an early 109? Waste of a good AT-6, incredibly ironic too

You're correct, but then you could say the same about a Mustang or Spitfire. Just the usual sensationalist media. 7800x3d, 5080, 64GB, PCIE5 SSD - Oculus Pro - Moza (AB9), Virpil (Alpha, CM3, CM1 and CM2), WW (TOP and CP), TM (MFDs, Pendular Rudder), Tek Creations (F18 panel), Total Controls (Apache MFD), Jetseat
Yurgon Posted October 29, 2018 Posted October 29, 2018 (edited) You're correct, but then you could say the same about a Mustang or Spitfire. Nazi era airplane with vintage insignia? Yup, sounds about right for sensationalist media. ;) Edit Most importantly though, it seems no one was badly injured in that accident. Edited October 29, 2018 by Yurgon
