Poor Airmanship

I also clearly remember that poor Cirrus being forced onto the runway, the pilot smacked it on the runway (19er) and actually did a go around the first attempt at landing.
The debris that came off the runway sure made a cloud as the prop dug up the strip sure got our attention, then to all our surprise he came back for another crack at it, this time no better an approach and after a fully compressed nose wheel landing he got it on !!! Wow, what an arrival !!
Then to our amazement he taxid "past the maintenance facility that was open around the back of the hangars for a short time. Shortly after returning to the runway and departing to the south.
And YES, one of the blokes in our group did search the register and put a call into YTDN expressing his horror at the pilots decision to "Press On".
Only recently saw that very same pilot flying a lovely looking RV. Not sure who owns the RV but it seems to be YTDN based.
Ooh, and bye the way, the cirrus incident did happen at YYWG. There were plenty of us present watching.
