What amazes me is that people never tire of lamenting how bad it "could

have
been".
....
No kidding

"If the playing field had been swarming with kids that day..." Of
course

no
one stops to think that in the mind of a pilot, looking for a spot to
put
it,
"a field swarming with kids" does not have the same value as " a large,

empty
field".

See below for a first hand narration covering exactly that situation (It
wasn't me, BTW)

Another really funny (as in funny stupid) about the article that Mr.
Loone

quoted was the claim that the wind had prevented the aircraft from
climbing - WTF, Over? Was the reporter on drugs or just plain stupid?
fwiw,
...



Actually, the reporter was quoting the pilot who claimed the little plane
was just overcome by the wind. Therefore, the pilot would be the stupid
one.
