Yet another reason for bigger tires

This was local to me http://www.kcra.com/news/29937697/detail.html

I'm sure alot of us here land purposely on stuff nastier and taller than that. I wonder if he stalled it in?? Should of been an uneventful landing. There's nothing out there for miles except nice fields.

500 ft and a mile out on approach? That man has greater faith in his engine than I do in my trusty Franklin... :shock:

Glad he walked away from it...
