Red Bull Air Race: Hall's amazing recovery
Matt holds the record for the highest score ever amassed on the RAAF pilots course.
There is a school of thought that says you can be too good, and hence push the boundaries further than a more average pilot will. Plenty of guys who duxed that course ended up dead. Maybe that's what happened here...
He was very lucky.

Not to be an "armchair quarterback" on this too much, but it sounded like he made a very simple mistake. Said he tilted his head back into the turn and instinctively increased back-pressure... boom. Accelerated stall. As close to the edge as these guys are, I'm surprised tiny things like that don't cause more incidents than they do!
Very lucky - incredible save.
I'm with you - one has a tendency to become complacent and/or overly bold over time and accidents will happen.Cobra wrote:There is a school of thought that says you can be too good, and hence push the boundaries further than a more average pilot will.
