IŽve had the misfortune to get to know Kano pretty well. Any number of reasons why you can stuff the airplane in there. Perhaps the lights failed on short final, perhaps the tower were confused about which runway you were landing on or the incessant babbling of the controller put the pilot off (I know guys who have threatened to visit the tower and hurt the guy after engine shutdown). Or maybe it was something as simple as a cyclist on the active runway (seen that) or perhaps a stray goat got ingested. Even if you grease it on in DNKN the runway is so rough youŽll think the gear has collapsed.
