A P68 fully loaded after t/o with an engine failure no matter how quickly you react will more than likely hit the deck. I have spent a bit of time in this aircraft (IYK) and its sad to see her in this state.

Most piston twins are the same, unless your a test pilot with a new aircraft and react in the millisecond you need to fully being prepared for a failure. (seminole anyone?) Even the chiefton fully loaded on a hot day out of meeka with a engine failure you fly straight and put her down where you can.

Those guys who are suggesting the bloke was showing off, get a life and keep to your 152's and your gfpt training.
