Default Lancair crash at SnF

Shirl:
I don't know about where you live, but malls here have lots of light
poles, concrete islands, park-and-rest benches and ... and ... vehicles
everywhere. And having gone through it once, I'm no longer fooled by
what *looks* "flat" at 500, or even 50 feet.


Barry:
I'd rather hit a bus shelter or light poles @ 40-50 MPH than go in
inverted after a stall/spin @ 200-300 AGL.


I agree. And it could be a place to go.
I was just saying that a mall/strip center parking lot isn't necessarily
the "ah...I'll go there!" place. Even at 7 a.m., there can be cars and
people everywhere.
