Strange...

Well, you can examine every situation up to it's tiniest thing, but, walking backward and looking at it from a distance, you've got to live with "Joe Average" also in Aviation, just imagine the idiot driving his sportscar a few feet behind you on the highway got the money for a mooney...
I remember watching a scene where a brandnew Robin landed close (about 400 m) behind the leading plane on a 500m strip, telling the first plane to go to the end of the runway and wait...
Not enough, after backtracking (similar situation, but concrete in a "wet" setting) the Robin was taxied with high speed and flaps extended over a sign and got it's right flap damaged...no need to tell that it was flown again later...

...you better watch out...
