This “slot”, just after the first rush of news, usually around 0800, is (also usually) fairly easy to embed … for example, there’s a Chris Spargo “minutiae” item waiting, on bins.

Yesterday, I previewed this morning’s at Sat 13 but then came a rush of videos from that source and while I was thinking how wonderful that a girl landed a plane and how wonderful the ATC was in all this … yes, it was edge of the seat stuff, plus the girl herself found the YT channel and commented … while all that, along came a real Hultgreen story, which led to the coining of “Hultgreen Curie” as a descriptor of a certain kind of woman trying to do something she could not … we had the Blackhawk recently.

Worse, I have two YTs on females successfully landing planes and am only using one expanded, the kid, mainly because the audio is broken in the second … I’ll link to it though. But also rushing in were two YTs on the Hultgreen type incident … shall run one and link to the other again.

The essential difference between the first two and the Hultgreen type was this:

The most dangerous situation for anyone is being around a female “trying prove she’s every bit as good as a man in some trad man role”. Because her mind is set on either proving herself or showing off or otherwise losing concentration, even suddenly feeling fazed … and in a plane, it only takes a moment.

Curiously, often a kid or older woman will do it well, humbly, as in our first two YTs today … whereas a “look at me, I am Woman” type, maybe aged 18 to perhaps 48, wearing cool pilate-shades, dressed impeccably, can be a lethal liability to everyone within range. Her mind is on a range of topics, not on what she’s usually good at, e.g. managing a group, taking care of a checklist etc. etc.

Let’s get to maybe the most exciting one:

All right, that was Jennifer … now for some more:

I concur. As an ex teacher, the right attitude of the helper is crucial, it’s make or break with a girl. With a boy, it’s just a case of respecting him mostly. This was the other case where the lady landed fine.

And now to that dangerous type of female … the one who thinks she’s the ant’s pants. I also blame males … our own attitude towards her makes her suddenly anxious or even angry … and the rest is history.

And the other YT on it, back to the original presenter above.

……

Is this picking on an unfortunate girl with comprehension and situational analysis issues? It might be, it might be bullying like a beast … except …

For this other girl

Hmmmmmm.

Or Kara Hultgreen.

Against that, the commercial lady pilot who put the plane down in the Hudson River. Textbook landing. No caveats.

Within my own field, sailing … Laura Dekker, Jessica Watson … but not Abby Sunderland. The first two were “seat of the pants” sailors … knew their stuff, did not panic, support teams. Abby? Was trying to emulate her older bro’s feat around the world, boat a hotrod compared to the first two … Abby’s boat highly electronic. Beyond her. She survived, was rescued by a search and rescue.

I copied some comments from the Hultgreen YT above, compressed etc., went back in here
