Just a few months ago a tri-engine Falcon Jet--I don't know
which model--landed by mistake at University Airport (3185 x
50 ft.) instead of nearby Yolo Airport (6000 x 100 ft.) The
pilot hit the reverse thrust before the nosewheel touched
down...better pilot skill than judgement.

I'd sell tickets to the guy's takeoff when he tries to
leave.Even a

straight

wing Citation couldn't get out of that mess.

He got out no problem. The first and probably last time we saw a
jet blasting over West Davis.

Any idea of how much room he had to spare...or at what point he
reached the go/no-go point? :~)

If it was the same pilot, I'd have to think that his judgment, as
you mentioned, leaves something to be desired.


How much Falcon time do you have and what do you base that on?

Haven't been following Tom's rants much, have you? He doesn't allow his
lack of experience or knowlege to keep him from pontificating on a wide
variety of subjects.
