actually seen an airplane nose-over on a grass strip? Matt




For what its worth, I am actually in agreement with you.. in that simply
being a turf strip does not a soft field make. My first solo flight and
quite a few initial flight training hours were done on grass. On a dry,
well maintained field, its a non-event.. and more forgiving than a paved
strip.
