Default Soaring Accident in Washington State

Florida Guy here... Commenting on the "Great North West Caper" in
Washington State

Seems like this Boggs Guy has it "Right On" again...

If the "Plan" was to do a 180... AFTER a "Launch"
on a tooo short rope...
on a tooo short Runway...

The Genius that had suggested a "180 degree Return to Runway"
Had to be smokin something serious.
This "Plan" seems to have been "Doomed to Failure" from inception.

No. The plan was for him to do a 180. It was doomed before they even
hit the gas.

if the rope had not broken, what would he do at ~150' at the end of
the runway....


The plan was likely for him to land straight ahead after they got
their few seconds of footage.- Hide quoted text -
