There's a lot you don't know about Scott Bloomquist. Scott is someone that I erased nearly every week for 20 years. If you knew Scott, this crash would make a lot more sense to you.
Scott Bloomquist was one hell of a driver in a race car. I like many of us dirt track drivers apparently gives off a persona that we are Outlaws. We just like living life to its fullest.
As a race fan who's followed Scott's career closely, listened to what he's said about flying in the past and seen first-hand the man's personality and way of thinking, I want you to read my words and let them sink in before replying. Scott chose how he would exit. His cancer had been caught early, but it was not improving with treatment. His prior racing injuries left him in a lot of chronic pain. His lack of a license literally meant nothing because the man's father was a commercial aviator and Scott himself went to flight school and had flown that plane, which was maintained meticulously by himself and his father for decades. He only flew that plane at low altitude around the family property by himself to scout fishing spots in nearby ponds. He knew every nut, bolt, seal and gasket on that plane as well as he knew every part on his race cars.
If you look at the actual impact of that plane, he was already on the ground. that plane went in at ground level and the wings bent backward in a fashion compliant with him rolling into the side of that barn at speed at ground level, not a downward impact where he just happened to time it perfectly to hit the bottom edge of that barn. There's TWO possibilities in my mind, and only one that I would speculate to be true until a thorough mechanical evaluation of the plane is complete. #1 this was indeed him choosing how to exit. #2 the steering AND throttle both had to fail in such a way that it steered toward that barn and had the throttle pinned at the same time, and I don't believe in those kinds of 'final destination' coincidences.
Rest in peace to the best damn driver who lived and died HIS WAY.
His lack of a license literally meant he was criminal.
So it was okay that he was breaking the law every time he got in the plane because he was special? And yeah he flew the plane into the barn on purpose- hero status.
@@AlbertHess-xy7ky The J-3 Cub is a light sport plane which requires no pilots license. Do some research asshole.
R I p
@@popsfereal What law? 🤣
Thank you for the update Dan. Scott was always my favorite dirt track driver, the people who did not care for him were driving behind him. 👍 Prayers to his wife, daughter, and family during this difficult time.
Thanks for being respectful of Scott and his family. This is so sad. I had pictures of this guy and his cars on my bedroom wall growing up. Im a big fan of dirt latemodel racing and its sad that i will never see the zero turn another lap.
May he race in peace .
He died a criminal.
Respect to the man, lived life on his own terms, finished on his own terms. Peace be with you brother.
He was a flat out criminal.
@@AlbertHess-xy7kyHow??
@@AlbertHess-xy7ky..and you’re perfect. Big mouth syndrome. I could care less by the way because he’s still the GOAT, something you’ll never achieve
@@AlbertHess-xy7ky and you're disrespecting the dead which gives you ZERO moral high ground. I suggest you keep your opinion to yourself.
@@FloridaManRacer I disrespect criminals. Up yours.
Alot of rhe keyboard pilots are forgetting to realize that he was a father, family man and a racer. Let us celebrate his life and his accomplishments. R.I.P. Mr. Bloomquist. Ride that #BlackSunshine into glory. Rest easy driver. Your work on Earth is done
Let us celebrate criminality.
Really?
So many of you people commenting stupid things obviously have no knowledge of Scott or his past. This man’s father was a commercial pilot and owned a crop dusting company in California. His dad sent him to flight school. He soloed one on the planes still currently in the farm from California when he was 16. So saying that just because he didn’t have a license is what caused the crash is absolutely absurd. Him not having a “license” looks bad but this man has probably logged more flight time than a lot of you on here preaching about a pilot’s license
The irony, Scott was so talented (behind the wheel and engineering), respectfully put, that it remains to be proven via investigation that this was even an accident.
With it being scott i wouldnt put it past being a failed experiment @rodbritton360
The man was criminal. Every time he flew
@@AlbertHess-xy7ky you are a criminal every time you drive !
@@georgehall4641 your comments just showwhat an ignorant ass you are
I was in India one day. On our way home after a night out I asked our driver if he was worried about being stopped as he was clearly under the influence. 'You could lose your license' said I. 'Don't have one' said he.
it’s not bout what you think. we lost someone that is deep in our hearts in the racing world!!!
You lost a criminal. Trump Pence 2024
All the speculation as to what happened to Bloomer is irrevelent at this point in time, especially by people who never knew him. What is known is that the racing world lost a legend. Every racer out there wishes they could achieve what he did.
RIP Bloomer. Gone too soon.
No , we have not lost you .
@@AlbertHess-xy7ky
What's up?
You're spamming these comments with your nonsense.
@@AlbertHess-xy7ky😿
@@AlbertHess-xy7ky We are
talking about SCOTT BLOOMQUIST…
And who are you?? Right…..
I'm not buying any of that crap about Scott committing suicide
Racing, Rock and Roll and flying was Scott's thing. His career in racing as he knew it was winding down and all those years of living his dream was catching up with him. Only thing that I see that is going out on your own terms is the ones that are left behind. I pray that they can and will find peace with this as Scott has. Knowing chronic pain and having your world ripped apart from it is something I know all too well. I came to peace with leaving on my terms but I could only think of my children... It's a difficult choice either way. I mean living with it is not just about the one that is in pain but the entire family and love ones that are seeing it on a daily basis. RIP my brother, it's been a helluva ride!
He flew over my house at 0715 that morning! He was flying not taking off!
no, no he didn't .
A criminal.
The highlighted comment is off the mark. This video did not come across apologetic to me of not having a pilots license. I think it was a heart felt statement to the families for there lose and a fact based no speculation review. Also im do not always agree or necessarily like the content here, but i think this was well done and i appreciate the time and efforts put into bringing this video! Thank you.
Please excuse my misspelled words my fingers are larger than the buttons on my phone lol
He was in a interview with flow racing saying this plane was so slow he would jump out over the lake if something went wrong. He made sure everyone heard him say that.
Let me see if i got this right. My private isn’t current. If they catch me flying they will do pretty much nothing. But if I let my CDL lapse and they catch me driving my semi they are going to make my life hell? That seems fair…
I dont know about the CDL, but FAA could suspend or revoke your certificate. But that's about it.
@@TakingOff so if I understand correctly if you don’t have a certificate there’s really nothing to take away but if you did go through the time effort and money to get a certificate they can and likely will punish you
Ok… I don’t have a problem punishing pilots who aren’t current but I have a real problem giving people a pass who fly without ever being certified to do so. That just seems a bit crazy to me.
Thanks!
@@darylb5564 people drive cars and truck and boats all the time and just get a slap on the hand if that for doing so.
no one ever said it was right, just that it happens,
@@timrobertson299 I guess you’re right. I don’t feel comfortable with doing things in a way that we all agree is wrong.
I can drive a boat car truck and an airplane. I put flying on a higher level of crime than driving a car without a license
@@darylb5564 I get it. A crime is a crime. Apparently aviation is a little less likely to have unlicensed operators just for the fact that in order to fly you must own the plane and if you can afford that then you can certainly afford the cost of flight training and licensing.
I guess only people with expensive hobbies are likely to fly without regard for their licenses 🤷🏻♂️
God bless Scott and family. He was a man among men. God speed Scott bloomquist❤
A criminal.
I can remember the bounty put on him at bulls gap, because no one could beat him.
The bounty was never claimed that year.
Rip to the dale Earnhardt of dirt track racing!!
Thanks for the update. I am not a pilot and never intend to be so this was news that people can fly even without a certificate. As you said, we cannot stop it from happening.
Planes fly because of physics, not certificates.
People also drive cars without a license.
Thanks you for the absolutely respectful and tactful manor you presented nothing more than the facts and not speculation. We are free to speculate what actually happened but that is all it would be is purely speculation. I do wonder more and more and notice the murmuring is getting louder if this was not an accident. Frankly I’m ok if Scott went out on his terms. He was a childhood hero of mine and I do not think any less. We don’t know what all was going on in his personal life, maybe he felt there wasn’t any other option. I’ve seen good people die a slow, agonizing and painful death, many people say they were ready, I can empathize with that. Either way RIP to an absolute legend and character. Much love
Well, he's a human being, and sometimes a person's life can be turned upside-down in seconds. We just pray it doesn't happen to us, but sadly, it's real, and I pray that I never have to face that.
Rip Mr Bloomquist 🙏
He landed it where he wanted. I appreciate the respect from everyone. Always will be a hero to me. RIP 🏁
And a felon, like Trump.
Did it skip when he said “Prostate Cancer” for anyone else? Like every time he said it.
Yes, because I messed up and added an extra r in my pronunciation and it was either leave the mispronunciation or use RUclips's crude editing to try and clip the r.
@@TakingOff Thanks for answering that. I thought it might be another word YT won't let you say.
@@TakingOffthank you for the clarification that is very honorable
Well, after seeing that crash site picture. My investigation is over. RIP Scott. One of the best Dirt Racers to have ever lived!
I watched scott race since he started. He was the best most winning driver to ever drive a late model. For about 20 years he either won or broke didnt matter where or what track everyone was chasing scott for years i seen Billy Moyer beat him a few times but not many. Racing is a bit dif now with the cars an technology an way to expensive etc.. Back in the day Scott was the man to beat at any track he visited
@@TroyHanson-ch6nmFreddy smith beat him some. In his hay day. Ronnie Johnson beat him a couple of times when they were together and even when they wernt teammates. But Scott was as good as anyone and better than most. Jeff purvis was another
He was a criminal. Like trump.
@@TroyHanson-ch6nm you are correct, it's not hard to figure out at all. Just like everything else, it was on his terms.
Thank you for the update and appreciate your professionalism
Very sad news. I can’t imagine what was going through his head. I pray for his family.
I have Scott a long time I meet him at Lucas oil 10 are 15 years ago he was a friend a get friend he de miss r I p
Scott told me two weeks ago that the divorce and all his cancer stuff he was ready to suck a gun. He was a great friend and I thought we had talked thru this. Rip brother !
Sadly, that was my thoughts that he took his own life. I met Scott around the Cherokee Lake area in the early 80's. He was on a date with my friend, Kim. They told me he moved here to Tennessee from California. Seemed like a nice person.
Sorry for the loss of your friend.
Man brother that's so heart breaking to get to that point in life. Praying for you and his family
I know how ya feel my friend. sadly I know 1 to many that decided to punch their own card. But after going thru those losses I settled it within myself this way "I miss my friends but I am happy for them their suffering and pain is over. I am not angry at them in anyway because I believe.....I have to believe that all they wanted to do was kill the pain it just took them out with it and it's ok I still love'em." Hope that helps you as it did me when I realized it. God Bless you sir.
@@warrenchambers4819 Thank you. Got me crying 😢...very good way to look at it.
Fair Assessment. Your presentation was cogent and respectful. Big fan of Scott. A fan of flying too. Will circle back.
scott has been flying since he was very young started with his father, his father flew all the time back in the day, and his father used to build ww1 and ww2 airplanes and scott used to build them with is dad throughout the years, they had a big collection of planes at the farm. his father built a ww1 bomber biplane
Scott was a criminal/
@@AlbertHess-xy7kyAs are you .
His father still rebuilding Planes he has a Triplane he's been rebuilding don't know if it's finished yet or not
@@AlbertHess-xy7ky Is Rudolph your relative?
@@billybobbocephus2177I have no idea. All eight of my great grandparents were native born US citizens. One great great grand parent was born in Austria. We no nothing of his European relatives. When did your people arrive in the land of the free and the home of the brave?
This is an aviation channel, you are a drone.
Is The Donald your relative? His relatives fought for Hitler.
Scott had other injuries to his back and hips that were causing a lot of pain and he was in financial ruins. I instantly thought it was intentional when I heard it. That was Scott’s personality.
He was criminal loser.
I believe it too.
Watched a video from.a big race fan who owns a plane almost exactly like the one he was flying.
And he speculated that .
And as to why.
Back injury, unable to have surgery due to cancer treatments, out of work. Winningest driver on dirt and facing bankruptcy. Not judging, but before the grace of god go I, there may be more to this story.
@@AlbertHess-xy7ky
Please
Found the moron.
@@AlbertHess-xy7kywhat proof go you have of that. Talk is cheap
Billy Moyer has almost 250 more wins.
We can send hundreds of billions to everywhere else but not help citizens here. Extremely sad.
So sad to say I think Scott may have had a heart attack
I never thought of that, but it's possible.
I think that Scott was a criminal.
@@AlbertHess-xy7kyI think you are a criminal.
@@AlbertHess-xy7kyIgnorance at its finest. Don’t you have a rock to crawl back under.
pure speculation
Some men choose to die in an oncology ward in agony with no hair...some men choose to fly one of their vintage aircrafts into a barn. Life's about choices and he was fortunate enough to make them for himself and he didn't hurt anyone else. Massive Respect. Rest in Peace.
zero evidence he chose to fly into a barn.
Friend to was first to respond to the scene said the engine was crushed flat so it went in pretty fast full throttle. He was unsure if the fire or the impact killed Bloomquist.
Fire was pretty intense inside the barn despite the pictures of the exterior. Most barns that old are like paper and burn quick.
Engine was in the loft
If he had a go fund me page for his surgery if needed I’m sure he could easily raise enough for that.
This is so sad May he R.I.P. I loved watching a true master at work.Prayers for him and his family.
considering he was a mechanical genius who spent ridiculous hours in the shop fabricating complex parts that liken av and the fact that his dad has restored a couple other things with amazing cannot dispute high quality results, I don't think this plane needed a inspection for safety, just legality. Look up his dad, it's a great story. Bloomquist is the most interesting pilot you've had on your channel but he was a quiet superstar. His dad was a record setting pilot moving ranks with pan am.
The info on this plane is available by searching the tail number. They bought it in 2006. The top speed of the plane was (like) 80 mph when new in 1938 so any mechanical issues on takeoff are going to be bad news. RIP Scott
@@KimiWallrus I’m with you. An 85 year old airplane that hadn’t had an annual in 12 years… I’m sure it was fine because the pilot is a genius
This is the exact reason why does insections are in place. And it is the same reason why you need to be certified and qualified. And he was NOT.
@@zombi111980so you're saying a piece of paper from the government makes you a pilot and not your skills,. Amazing
@@tomwest8663 No i am saying that this piece of paper ensures that you are qualified and tested within the standards that are wirtten in blood.
Scott and being current with the FAA was just not who he was. He's been flying these planes his whole life without a license, he's never been shy admitting that or much of anything really.
Of course, we all wonder about it and of you know anything at all about him, you know, he's going to do it his way. I'm not going to go that far, but damn if it don't have a "Second Hand Lion" vibe to it, hitting the barn. He was a good pilot which complicates it all that much more.....If weather wasn't a factor? ` well, it will be a mystery won't it? End of the day, he is Legend~ and accomplished feats never to be approached.
I'm a glass half full person, that's what would make him proud, he did it all, did it his way. You can't argue the results. He was almost my age and until you get to that point? you can't understand that, it's OK, don't cry. Life is a play with 3 acts, he, like myself, are in the 3rd act. You see shit different than you would 30 years ago~ You'll see ;)
He was a criminal, like Trump is.
John Denver remember
you flew with him?
People: he flew all the time, he knew what he was doing...
More people: he was a great mechanic on everything in the world...
The rest of us, so if by that logic it didnt crash because the plane was in tip top shape because he was a superb mechanic, and it didnt crash because he flew all the time and knew what he was doing, now leaves the last and only logical explanation...... it was an intentional act to end his life. Facts Right people??
@@3120DownForce there are no facts at this point. It's all speculation.
How in hell do you kill yourself in a J-3 Cub? It stalls at 37 mph and you cross the threshold at 55 mph, so how do you crash a Cub? I learned to fly in the J-3 C65 (Continental engine with 65 hp) as a 16 year old high school student in 1966 and didn't kill myself.
People die in cars at 20 MPH.
Wondered how he managed to kill himself in a J3. Then I saw it dead centered a barn. Oh. Second Hand Lion. Got it.
Right
Didn't see this, but yeah, said the same thing. He was the kind of guy to do that.
They can just barely kill you so he's just barely dead.
@@skyboy1956huh? Your comment doesn’t make sense. Maybe formulate a rough draft first. You know, things they teach you in grade school
@@dawnslight99 If you knew anything about aviation you'd be well versed on the quip by test pilot C. Maxwell Stanley: “A Piper Cub is the safest plane there is. It can just barely kill you.”
The cub was used in WWII as an air observation plane. My dad was a mechanic and used to talk about the nerves of steel the pilots needed. They would regularly fly these little planes over battle fields to direct the heavy guns to target. Of course, the enemy soldiers took exception to this and opened fire on the cub.
Those were "L" Birds, L-1, L-2, L-3. L-4, L-5 . . . 5 different manufacturers
Not true, but nice try.
Thank you for the update Dan. Hopefully more details will come out. Keep up the excellent work. Safe skies my friend 🇺🇸🛩️
How do you hit a barn in the exact center unintentionally???
With skill!
Must have dropped his crack pipe
at the point where 'ahhh fugg it' kicks in.
Same way you rear end a car unintentionally.
EXAMPLE: If you were aiming for the right-hand side of the barn and missed your mark a little to the left that would be unintentionally hitting the center.
Second Hand Lion (no disrespect intended)
Thank you for this update. Right or wrong, licensed or not, Scott had been flying and helping work on planes all of his life. RIP "Bloomer", thank you for the memories and for your help in advancing our sport.
More like illegal vs legal, as opposed to right vs wrong. It's not a personal option to fly without a license that every other law-abiding pilot has worked hard and spent big cash to obtain. To leave your shopping cart in the lane next to your car is right vs wrong
@@DisandDat-ht5os Whatever
Such a beautiful aircraft. :(
The runway you see is on Scotts property and the barn is also owned by Scott and his father. Do more research.
The question wasn’t who owned the barn, the question was whether the barn on the overhead of the runway was confirmed the one he crashed in to.
@@TakingOff Yes, it along with the runway is on his 160 acres.
With his father being a world class commercial pilot and mechanic who builds his own planes and maintains them himself i highly doubt there was an airworthiness issue more likely and accident or something more tragic
Good morning from Minnesota. Great update
Huge fan of Scott. This is shocking news. I had no idea.
Devastating news. REST EASY SCOTT ❤️🤟🏼
A criminal.
@@AlbertHess-xy7ky criminal? Please explain?
You sure drug that out. Not all your video's have to be long format. Sometimes a 3 or 4 minute video is fine.
its sad seeing that photo beacuse it dose not look like he hit the barn hard at all.
Exactly, that's why I don't think it was on purpose.
@@bad2mx it was on purpose.
The engine was half way thru the loft of the barn and a 6x6 post stopped the rest of the plane
Half the pilots in Alaska don’t have tickets to fly.
Illegals to not have a license to drive, are you OK with that? This jerk is a criminal was.
I doubt that that is true
Absolutely right. Scott was a absolute fantastic pilot first and foremost. But Scott was going through some very bad physical pain with his back and right leg. Pain in America is a terrible thing due to Governmental overreach. Doctors will not prescribe people very much needed medication due to addiction concerns! When your pain is not treated it can cause you to loose your mind. Just something to think about. Rest in Peace Scott Bloomquist #0 Legend and Father!!!
@@redeyedmongoose2963 I will Agee. Not half but it’s a very large number
I doubt that since you can pretty much get a license through a high school program up there
i think this was the very same airplane that was on the popular show airplane repo. i believe he sold the plane to a friend who failed to pay, as agreed, and scott hired one of the personalities on the show to get it back. not sure, please forgive me if am wrong. my deepest condolences to his family, may scott rest in peace.
I don't know. He had back problems too from the many crashes he had. He was a man's man.
Thanks👍🏼
Dude was such a badass. RIP Bloomer ❤️❤️
A Criminal
I heard he had a few other health issues going. Looks like a pretty deliberate barn hit to me. Scott packed more life into 60 years then most in 90. So what if he did have the balls to go out on his own terms. Maybe he did. Maybe he didnt. A LEDGEND RACER WHO WAS A BAD ASS. HERES TO BLOOMER 🍻🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Anybody ever see the ending in Second hand loins? Yeah great movie.
Showed my wife the "accident" photo and all she wanted to know if he was upside down like in Secondhand Lions.
is RUclips bleeping "prostate" and why????
No, it's my fault. I added an extra "r" and tried to cut the r in the crude RUclips editor.
If you watch a story on here the road to Eldora about half way through it shows the barn
If you love Aviation you dont kill yourself with a plane. 22 cal. is for that.
22 cal? Odd choice.
Sad story… I present no other opinion, except Scott was a great racer. RIP
Well done, nice touch and how true! Just some folks don't go by the book!
We need more red arrows in thumbnails !
For all the "pilots", on here commenting about his lack of licensing. Scott knew more about aircraft and how to operate them than most people that hold a pilots license. He had no need to have a license, because he never left the property with the aircraft.
I'm afraid you are incorrect . He was still required to be a licenced pilot to fly around his own property
@@bwoolno So you and the government say. Im afraid you missed the point in knowing anything about the man. He lived by the less the government knows, the better.
He left the ground.
@@getinit56 he died
@@getinit56lived by and died by "the less the government knows" .... right? Died by it. You're one of those goofy sovereign citizens that normal people make fun of on youtube videos. 😂😂😂
Plane fell apart, barn survived
How did that barn survive even the smallest of fires. That old extremely dry structure would have been fully engulfed in literally minutes.
I am 66. My dad was a pilot. And I flew with him so much. By the time I was 17 I was literally an IFR pilot. But it never occurred to me that I was a pilot until I had my license. I never flew an airplane by myself without a certificate or an endorsement.
I'm wondering if he had some kind of medical problem?
@@Plutogalaxy i did ! guess you didn't see the end! But as a space cadet floating somewhere around Pluto you can be forgiven!
You are not Bloomer. He did things HIS way and didn't give two craps what anyone else said or did. Like driving the race car to the track once, if not more than once. And he didn't mince words either. Again, you are not Bloomer!
@@johnstark4723 what in the f*** are u ranting about!
Criminal mindset.
@@johnstark4723 Bloomer was a criminal, like illegals, like trump. A mindset.
You would think he would remember his name Bloomquist
On Dale Jr's podcast, Scott laughed at not having a license! He joked that he liked to fly under the power lines and a matter of feet above his lake to see where the fish would roll to show their white bellies. He loved the gray area of the rules. He was a force of nature and lived on the edge. #Bloomer #0 ☠️👽🏁
He was a criminal, like trump is.
Very well put.......
I still blame the space aliens in the cigar shaped UFOs that he has talked about many times! (See Scott's Dale Jr download interview)
That's not the only interview that he spoke about that he had interviews or the neighbors were involved and scene the same thing
Control surface cable failure?
Something fishy here; a little J3 is so slow it will just barely kill you, you damn near have to try
I wonder if a cable broke? Saw it happen in Florida last year
Rumors are swirling around his cancer came back and it was terminal this time. So it would make one believe he decided to check out.
He was not a certified pilot. He had no business flying the plane. Nothing more to say. RIP
Has pilot error the cause of the Bloomquist plane crash?
Some of you people commenting all these negative remarks need to keep that BS to yourself. This is a tragedy to the dirt late model world but IT IS DEVASTATING TO HIS DAUGHTER, FATHER, AND MOTHER…..🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼’s for his family
Dude killed himself.
That's the saddest part.
Just because it hurts your feelings doesnt mean people need to keep anything to themselves. Clown
Any word on if Scott left behind a suicide note?
I'm wondering if a medical occurrence caused Scott to abort takeoff, cut the power & veered into the barn after suffering a stroke and/or passing-out. - ☹
R.I.P. to 'The GOAT"
Odd how there is nothing at all about the body in the police report. Go watch flo racings documentary/interview with him from a little while back. It will make you question.
I have a legal "pilot's license" but you won't catch me doing a fraction of the stuff Bloomer did. Having the government's "we won't kill you, today" approval means almost nothing...other than that you've kowtowed properly. I'm with Taking Off though. Taking the time and effort to get the 3rd-party approval makes me a better pilot, so I'll do that as long as I can afford to. If you want *FREEDOM*, just go fly ultralight. ;-) But, still, be careful, study, learn, and do it as safely as you can. There are few sensations as great as bicycling, sailing, and flying.
Cool, I didn't know I could just buy a plane and fly it without a license or annual. This is Great information. Thank you!
If it’s under a certain weight. Yes you can. The j3 meets the weight requirement now if it’s stripped and small engine as a ultralight So no license annual training or medical required
@@hondaxl250k0 He was not flying an ultralight. He was a criminal.
@@AlbertHess-xy7ky so it was a full powered cub? With all the accessories?

Jump to conclusions?
He had serious medical issues and no pilot certificate and no annual on the plane!
100% unsafe and he crashed? Well duh!
Well his dad was probably one of the best pilots in the United states
His son was a criminal.
@@AlbertHess-xy7kyhis son took off and landed on their own air strip, he didn't leave the air space of their farm
The planes were all antique, but in perfect condition.
An interesting and non-judgmental video. And quite rightly invokes why licensing exists. 👍🏻
I don’t even know the guy but mechanic failure pilot error or suicide…The man was clearly a Legend at his Craft let’s not speculate but to remember one of the Greats!
Yeah thats about all the possibilities. Seems mid air collision could be ruled out with the whole no second plane crashed or damaged anywhere. Also im going to go out on a limb and say he wasnt shot out of the sky. So yeah that leaves the 3 options you listed.
lol, makes rampant speculation then admonishes others not to speculate ! ! lmao . . .is your nickname "Craftsman?"
I could land a J3 in my backyard half drunk with 300 feet of grass, any pilot could....You would have to fall asleep to wreck a cub~ Scott was a wheel man/stick man in this case - No f'n way he couldn't land a Cub. My grandma could land a Cub, she'll be 103 next month.
ot say Scott made a terrible mistake and fk'd up and crashed? Don't think I could ever believe that is the case. YOu have to give me stupid wind speed and direction proof to believe it was an accident. Maybe it was? 40mph X-wind~got me. Other than that? fk no.
Or heart attack etc
@@billydamnit control disconnect, etc.
You talk like you know something about the plane when in reality you don't explain to me where exactly is the pilot position in that plane since you know it all
It’s pros-tate not pros-trate. Just fyi
I think after an investigation there will be more to come out on his tragic death, after seeing the crash site I saw the story of second hand lions unfold in front of me and knowing Scott had some problems that were not the greatest I won't be surprised that he lived and maybe even died on his terms. I know he asked a famous racing icon for help ending his career as a winner.
The Hermanator.
Scott was a criminal.
He went out on his on terms.
Love your videos
Scott didn't follow the rules while racing so why when flying
No license or Medical, & flying along with plane certification from many years earlier!
Second hand lions.
R.I.P. SCOTT.
Chip Bailey.
Have you ever watched the movie secondhand lion I’m sure Scott did
Suicide is always tragic.
Medical issue perhaps?
