Word is that he was 20 miles SE of KBMI and encountered a "rough
engine."
He did a 180 and headed back towards Bloomington which put him almost
in line with rwy 29.


Brock,

Do you know the area well enough to know what his options might have been
either straight ahead or within only 90 degrees left or right?

I wonder was making a 180 the best decision?
