Greetings; Before landing long, could I just suggest (from personal experience) that it is good to know how long your landing roll is in case of failure of the breaks and touch down at more than that distance
Maybe my English is not quite right, but I do not see any mention of an intersection in glush's first post.
The mental picture I have is that the second aircraft entered by the same place and then took off.
So, if I understand correctly, his first glance of the Pitts might have been at quite short distance.
I make no judgement, but am trying to imagine how things looked.
