Inhofe not the greatest pilot?

[trof]

"In October 2010, the Inhofe patriarch sent construction workers fleeing in terror as he landed at Cameron County Airport in south Texas. A Federal Aviation Administration investigation determined that Inhofe knew the runway was temporarily closed and chose to land anyway.

He “sky hopped” over six vehicles and “scared the crap out of” the workers on the runway, according to FAA records."

And he just had another close call.
A danger to himself and others?
If he wasn't a senator I doubt that he'd still have a license.

1. IIRC, he's been in at least one accident

His son also killed himself in a MU-2.

3. If there was a deer on the runway

as per the article and rough weather. Not really his fault this time. Was he flying the plane or just a passenger, the article doesn't say?

4. Sounds a bit suspicious

Says he was "forced" to land at that airport because of bad weather, which suggests he didn't plan the flight very well. If the bad weather was too close it could have also caused microburst conditions, or severe crosswinds that drove the plane off the narrow runway. Inhofe wouldn't be the first to use the "deer on the runway" excuse to cover for a screw up.

6. He's got that deer in the headlight look in his eyes anyway

sorry bastard anyway

5. The article in the local paper, Tulsa World Newspaper

says he was the only one in the plane so I'd surmise from that he was the pilot

7. Well we are talking about senator snowball here
