Anyways, I think we have clarified clearly where our compassions are and there is no point discussing it any more.

On a much more important note, you said....



I have never heard of this before. Is there some sort of benefit to it?

It sounds like an incident waiting to happen.

The earlier accident you provided a link to was also poor piloting. If you have pools of water on areas of the grass runway, you better make sure to check the area you will use(and some extra area) thoroughly.

Simple, the pilot made an error, compounded by getting airborne a touch early/slow, due to the large bump in the Brimpton runway.( I was present at the Event)
100 hrs. or 20000 hrs, it can happen to any of us.
I'm glad you are perfect and trust you never do the same.
