Remember the J31 that flipped on it's back and hit the runway at Prestwick after a V1 cut during training? Everybody on the aircraft died (two students and a TRI).

I was at Prestwick that day, doing a J31 conversion for Loganair. When we got to the aircraft training, we were told "relax guys, no V1 cuts below 500 feet now..." - a direct result of that accident.

None of that stuff should be done on the aircraft, it is way too dangerous.
