I have seen AK's so rusty they would not fire but that's a first for me.

Where is the top of the forend that covers the gas tube? This has all of the ingredients of someone screwing with a perfectly good rifle and producing an unfavorable result in the process. I doubt this clown would reach the final cut at a NASA job interview. Too bad "Sharia Law" doesn't get rid of guys like this. An idiot can wreck anything. Look what this moron did to a perfectly good $184,000,000.00 C-17 Globemaster. Bill T.

My wife saw that video Bill and she was yelling "former fighter pilot" for sure.

That is the same type of manuver a B52 pilot did a few years ago at an air show then crashed. The wings were so vertical tha lift was lost and he sideslipped into the ground.

yeah...banks on both turns were way to steep for that bird....it just doesn't have near the thrust or rudder area to provide adequate lift in that attitude.  

I just cannot imagine why the pilot was not aware of what was happening.

I'm sure he could have pulled it off with a few thousand more feet under his aircraft.
Low and slow are not good things when flying.

There are "old" pilot's, and there are "bold" pilot's.
There are damned few Old, bold pilots.

I got dropped of a couple of years ago up in BC for a hunt. The pilot was a nice kid who left me on the airstrip and went to pick up some guys salmon fishing. When he got them loaded he tried to make a low speed low altitude bank because he had miscalculated the mountain hieght.  He and three of the fisherman died. I  found out on they way out about a week later.

There were two crashes at WGNAS when I was living near by. Both were pilot error: too slow, too low (F-14, A-10) and were both fatal

Caught this vid on another gun site, someone suggested a trunnion failure, or rat's ass ammo handloaded by an 8 year old in a hut.
