Lack of airmanship
Unfortunatly the lack of Airmanship displayed on Sunday at YHOX, resulted in 2 aircraft coming to withing 20 ft of a Mid air collision on Short final to YHOX runway 34.
short version, i was short final. number 2 behind a skipper that was just turning off the runway, at approx 400 ft, the aircraft that WAS following behind me, turned final approx 50 ft in front of my aircraft forcing me to take immediate extreme evasive manouvers., sadly after no response on the radio from the offending aircraft, i doubt the pilot/instructor has any clue as to how close he came to a firery death falling from the sky onto the M7, taking me with him.
A report has been submitted to the ATSB, and the pilot of the offfending aircraft will be contacted shortly.
Please people, AIRMANSHIP! just might save your life, even if you dont know it!

It would seem that airmanship did save their lives, perhaps just not theirs...
