Cool find, Cindy! I like how he landed on the pavement, rolled out on the grass, and had the tail dolly on as he rolled to a stop!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Good Eye Steve

I just sent the story about that movie here. Gliders Of Aspen (us) used to maintain a high speed turn off via the grass infield in order to get off the runway fast on to the ramp where we often caught the wingtips of our swivel-wheeled gliders performing a 180 to get it ready for the next ride.
Of course the dolly was put on to the Janus after David the pilot got out of the plane. We did not bother to take it off for the solo taxi with JD.

Think Up
