Sad but very revealing update on the Blackhawk crash. Their altimeters were off and didn't even match from pilot to instructor. They never even discussed that discrepency. They keyed their mics at the very same time as some critical ATC info and didn't hear all of it. Never called back to clarify either. They had a ADSB (electronic alert) in the chopper to alert to collisions but either had it turned off or it was not working. They never made evasive maneuvers indicating they never saw the plane. The ATC had told them to fly behind the plane and they never saw said plane clearly as they barely deviated. They also acknowledged to each other they were slightly too high. They were supposed to be at 200 feet and were at 275 or maybe more. The plane otoh and it's pilots were alerted by their ADSB and made aggressive evasive maneuvers but all too late.
Insult to injury below 500ft the ADSB gives limited details. This was all happening around 300ft.

The chopper was at fault. A series of unintended issues added to it. The whole air space on that side of the airport is idiotic with smaller planes and occasionally military craft knowingly flying into the same area were visual cues are the "norm" in an area where the background is chock full of conflicting lights and visibility sucks. It will be one of those horrific hindsight moments we all look back on and say who thought this was good?

Character Hurting James Pearce Jr. – WalterFootball

walterfootball.com walterfootball.com

What is this? Never heard an issue out of Pearce, but it's on NFL draft Reddit and Walter football as well as a few other places.

brent and austin were being ambiguous as usual. i think i even recall one saying something about that Pearce thing. i recall thinking 'what thing?' then they started down some other rabbit hole.

Wanted to share some news: I was informed today that the president of the university has approved my promotion to full professor, the highest rank. It takes effect this August. Basically it means I get more money and don't have to say 'yes' to any of the Dean's requests any more, so it's a win.

Congrats. Now don't let it go to your head and turn into one of those professors talked about on message boards.

It's so weird. Guys who are only NFL draft fans telling me about Pearce having major character concerns knocking him off boards, I'm just confused never heard a peep of that.
