I don't disagree with you - the book doesn't cover every event but one thing is for sure it's not your day if it happens to you and I'd rather be lucky than good if it does!
BTW I flew Barons/210's in South West Africa for a short while as a youngster and the subject of performance into some strips(a dry river bed for one example) was covered by the question....... 'Has anyone ever been in and out of there in a Baron?..........Yeah! OK great lets go'
No Country for Old Men.
