it was just as well that I had landed on the runway, as the grass was full of stakes marking out the areas for the airshow!
WOW!
There is another aspect, though: at least here in BE, and I suppose in many other places too, microlighters are bred into a mentality of "always try to keep a low profile". IOW if things go wrong, you don't go telling all and sundry over the radio, just quietly drop into a suitable field and call your friends to come with a 4x4 and trailer. I was taught to consider this a non-event, though I still have to see myself doing it all and keep my blood cool.
Being lost however, especially near busy/complicated airspace, as in Mary's above example, is of course a perfect example of when one's bum SHOULD itch!
