A real pilot pit stop, you don't want to loose all that time climbing to altitude again.

I propose we start a new saying, since Reilly is dead, and was only a card player anyway, we should start using the term

I humbly relinquish title of "pilot" in light of this demonstration.

That was awesome. I'm going to have to pass that one around.

While aviation has made the world a smaller place, if you fall, it's still hard to miss!

Looks like you would be as much fun to fly with as that kid of yours! That does look like it might be a fun dead-stick take off hill. Some of the most fun I have is when I get to go flying with Joe & Red.
PS, your Run with the Scissors video is great too.

Nice video. Nice landing. I don't get the wind part, though. If it was blowing very hard, it seems like there would have been a lot of turbulence? I really envy the place you can play.

Are you the one that posted this on the TGR boards? :)

EDIT: Yep, I guess I figured it out myself - same AIM name. BTW, we definitely share the best two hobbies known to mankind. :wink:
