You gotta do what you gotta do...

Had a little difficulity following the plot with the last post, but ...

On my ATPL ride in 1966, the FAA inspector (inspecting me) was accompnied by another FAA guy inspecting him.

After five and one half hours in the air, for every maneuver required, including canyon approaches (rapid descent and pull-up, now no longer required) and LF range orientation, on the last takeoff, with an engine failure at liftoff, I closed the throttles and landed on the runway remaining.
The head FAA honcho in the back bellowed...'that's what I wanted to see, a guy who knows what he is doing, this piece of cr@p has a hard enough time flying on two engines, never mind one.'

Made my day.
