http://www.wafb.com/Global/story.asp?S=4038264 I found this link in alt.binaries.multimedia.aviation. I thought you guys should see this. After seeing this clip, I wonder why the pilot would begin a takeoff rollout with all the vehicles on the side of road. The risk factor would cut down enormously if you ask those vehicles to move away. I saw something like this at a recent AOPA seminar. A pilot made a successful off airport landing due to excessive air in the fuel tanks. They obtained fuel from a nearby private field, put some in their C-150 and the two of them took off. Because their off airport landing had attracted some attention, there was video shot of the take off. The plane took off, but the roadway was far too short for a C-150 on a summer day and two people aboard to clear the tree obstacles at the end of the "runway." Neither was badly hurt but the airplane was destroyed. |
