Did you do that, or was it a club plane, or something?


No, it wasn't me, it was a member who shall remain nameless. Landed long
downwind then decided they weren't going to stop in time after already
having applied the brakes. If you've ever flown a Cheetah, you'll know
that the earth is round so Cheetahs can get off the ground. A downwind
takeoff with a tailwind isn't the recipe for success.
