Race of Champions (Pilot Stupidity Fork)
Giggle, Snort...
When I was an Air Force student pilot back in '73 they told us that landing between two trees would absorb a lot of energy during a forced landing. So the story goes, a pilot experiencing a forced landing saw a large field with two trees in it... "Ralph Jones" wrote in message ... Interesting memory of the opposite behavior: I was in a Region 9 at Las Vegas NM years ago, and the USAFA cadets were there with their 1-34, Sierra Hotel. They had a rigid rule: At 500 AGL, land. Period. A cadet reported the IP on a straight-in final. She was on a perfect glide slope to the runway -- and at 500 feet, she peeled off and landed in the boonies. rj
