Just a few months ago a tri-engine Falcon Jet--I don't know which
model--landed by mistake at University Airport (3185 x 50 ft.) instead
of nearby Yolo Airport (6000 x 100 ft.) The pilot hit the reverse
thrust before the nosewheel touched down...better pilot skill than
judgement.


I'd sell tickets to the guy's takeoff when he tries to leave.Even a

straight
wing Citation couldn't get out of that mess.


He got out no problem. The first and probably last time we saw a jet
blasting over West Davis.


Any idea of how much room he had to spare...or at what point he reached the
go/no-go point? :~)

If it was the same pilot, I'd have to think that his judgment, as you
mentioned, leaves something to be desired.
