If it was a forgetful moment! it is not a very long or hard job to get it of the runway.

Top cowls off, sit 6 guys on the H stab, two fork lifts lifting of the engine eyelets or props (L/H & R/H) with a guy inside to pump down the gear. Tow it away.

- Had a C210 to get off a runway once. A pilot was getting his 210 endorsement (they do them at max weight) after the stalls and other required activities it was time to land. Normally the endorsements were just the pilot and a training or chief pilot of the company, then sand bags to get to MTW. But you could put people for the weight.

This flight had the pilot getting endorsed, the chief pilot (also the training pilot) 2 x DCA staff and 2 x ATC staff. Some very red faces!

PRH hardly hit the news, but that was not both runways.
