the added value of burning altitude in a hurry.....
I once helped a friend build a kit plane. It was still pretty
big though. So anyways, I watched the maiden voyage of course, but he crashed upon landing. He cut the motor and it never restarted, and he just ran out of "air". I swear I felt the earth shake he hit so hard, before burying the prop into the earth. We quickly got him outta there, blood running down his face, and into a hangar...just as a cop rolled by. It wasn't registered yet, and it was a close call! He told the emergency room he fell off his bike! (This was at a private airstrip) I have a lot of plane stories, having grown up next to this airstrip....... airstrip |
