Default Ooops ... incident at Santa Fe

right where you can't see it rather than safely away from you. Just
speculation, of course.


Well, that arrival looked only slightly less successful than the
infamous Cherokee-on-Cessna landing from a few years back. Is there
some kind of magnetic attraction between V-tail Bonanzas?

I loved this quote from the story - who knew airports had to be
rated(?) My guess is the remote control lighting had little to do with
a daylight incident. smirk

"Los Alamos County Airport, which is rated for small, private aircraft
and has no commercial flights, has no air-traffic controller. Pilots
approaching the airport use remote control to turn on the lights."
