Sorry if it won't play although it tricked me by doing so in the preview. I have been unable to separate the link from an aol mail attachment as a separate wav file to post.

Half a century spent proving “it is better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.”

The faster I go , the farther behind I get.
I wonder what the conditions were at the time?
That might be where the saying came from that it is better to be on the ground wishing you were in the air than in the air wishing you were on the ground!
Looked like a good landing, probably every one walked away, I sure hope everyone had there seat belts on.

All bets are he can't make it with a prop on the front and still be able to taxis off the runway. He was cheating using a jet.
