When I was going through primary, there were two guys who got the boot because they decided to dogfight the T-34... They were both scheduled for a PA solo on the same day, so they met up in a working area, turned off their transponders and went at it. Not the best headwork...
I can't even get my head around what they would have classified as dogfighting in their tiny brains. I suppose anything within 3 or 4 miles of each other would classify, especially since they hadn't even flown basic form yet.
Not too long ago at Whiting there was a student solo who came up on Rwy 32 (any student familiar with 32 knows how tricky it is coming off the 180 on profile without violating south field airspace a mere 1000ft off the rwy) and biffed the profile some, and instead of going around elected to touch it down....compressed the nose gear hard enough trying to put it down that all 4 props struck tarmac, and due to a panic reaction the student then went full throttle and lifted off, striking the tail section on rotation. 2 laps in the pattern with 4 bad props, some tail damage and an excessively vibrating engine later, the stud finally got it down. Student continued in training all though I have no idea where that student is now. Big lesson learned was WAVEOFF's are FREE!
If you're going to prang one, prang one at whiting. The planes are cheap and the command should be understanding in a way. Im fairly certain that it will continue to happen with regularity. Happened when I was there, happened when you were there. That's why we don't just go straight into fleet aircraft.
