Ernest,

I don't know whether my friend is back from Oshkosh and collecting the rest of his NXT yet, but I get you in touch with him first chance or was it just the title of the online mag you wanted ?

I was just interested in the magazine, Thomas.  My uninformed opinion is that he accident was a shameful travesty caused by a complete lack of attention to the fundamentals of ground movement that borders on criminal negligence...see and be seen.  Why were airplanes of vastly different sizes having to do S-turns to taxi in an extremely crowded environment?  Not enough volunteers to assign a wing walker to each plane without forward visibility?  Then either pay for some help, or admit you can't handle the load and shut down the airport.  But I guess having a few less airplanes there would have an impact on the success of the show wouldn't it?  Or maybe they wouldn't show as much profit if they had to pay a temp agency a few $ for some minimum wage flackeys to walk beside some airplanes?

Oh, I need to stop.  I get so upset, not that an accident occurred, but the callous response to it when there is such a simple solution that would guarantee that it never happened in the first place.
