I haven't read the link above but I believe they made an emergency landing, fixed the problem and attempted to take off again.

Expensive. :whistler:

They were very lucky not to have taken off, there wasn't enough room to miss the trees by climbing & turning in that plane. Low level stall would have killed them for sure. :Shocked:

Yes, idiot fly aircraft, ride motorcycles, drive cars and trucks.  Very lucky to get out with only bruised egos.

Sorry, I forgot to add "fly helicopters".

Did that get them all, Phil?

Taken in isolation, that sentence caused me some concern.
But I've read back in the thread now and I understand.

That reminds me, I must read my post and include quotes of previous posts if the need arises.  Or just leave it and give everybody a laugh.   :happydance:
