Bad timing...
Ouch...
This is one of those stories that makes me glad that I didn't spend the extra money (and lost useful load) to install Toe-Brakes in 61J... Yes it was odd... for the first 5 minutes of taxiing. After seeing two of my old club's planes go through a set of pads per 100 hour inspection (one of them having a similar catastrophic right (I believe) break failure... only during a landing... only a VERY good instructor prevented a ground-loop). And then hear stories like this from a very experienced pilot no-less... I can't say I miss them. I have had a right break failure in a piper with toe brakes also right brake stuck upon applying them. This makes me just a little curious. Is the handbrake on a Piper (without toe brakes) mechanical or hydraulic? My reason for asking is that, if hydraulic, the same culd happen with the handbrake--although the possiblility of inadvertantly dragging the right brake while applying rudder would be eliminated.
