JJ,
Wasn't that Cat House story in Soaring Magazine? If not, it should be! "JJ Sinclair" wrote in message ... Quite simply, the sequence of events that led to the off field landing was not connected to the BFR. That said, I can guarantee that I learned a heck of a lot on that flight and I'm looking forward to sharing! Yeah. I passed. I have always believed that Rule #1 is to put the ship down in the best location available and deal with the consequences later. I have landed at Reno International without radio contact with the tower and about a year later I plunked it down on the ramp at Edwards AFB without radio contact with the tower......(seems to be trend here)! Then there was the landing at a Nevada Cat-House and a wheat field that we managed to incinerate in west Texas! My rule has served me well with no violations or legal action for nearly 40 years now. Any landing where nobody got injured is a good landing in my book! Hang in there Jim, JJ |
