    You gotta admire skill..............

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    In all my years of flying, I have said that I couldn't see any reason to jump out of the plane unless it was on fire and only had one wing----I was waiting for it to catch on fire-----now I got to go rethink all those other things I've been saying about flying or racing-----

    Goes to show, you can never have to much power. Getting it to hang off the prop saved his butt. I never had that much power to play with, so I had to be sure the wings stayed on my plane!! Instuctors are always drilling it in, "Fly the plane, Fly the plane". Guess he was listening! Impressive he was able to sort out how it would fly, and maintain control in such a short time. Wonder if the horse shoes up his butt, clank and rattle when he walks? Sniper

    As Frank would say from the TV show Every Body Loves Raymond “HOLY CRAP” plus a very good landing. Amazing to be in one piece let alone stop the plane upright. Great Job
