You could take out of it any 3 engine Falcon with about 6000 lbs/2+hours of fuel. Gabriele |

Christ on a bike...I said he'd get out but IT WOULD BE EXCITING TO WATCH!! Is that so goddamn hard to understand? Legal...but stupid. Or maybe I'm too conservative. I'll have to archive this thread until the next time someone posts a newspaper article about a pilot pranging on takeoff and then compare the second guessers. |

Even a straight
wing Citation couldn't get out of that mess. Yeah....it could do so quite easily. So could the Falcon for that matter. -John *You are nothing until you have flown a Douglas, Lockheed, Grumman or North American* |

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? |

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. |
