[quote]There are times you want to hide one's indiscretions, but in this instance, given it was captured so well on photos, I thought I would share.
Late at the end of three days of flying, I was larking around and decided to do a beat-up into the newly dug pit on the side of the strip.
Earlier in the day someone was saying how interesting it would look if during a speed run, all you can see was the tailplane sticking above ground... Challenge accepted.
The images show the results.
As I was concentrating on landing (still amazed the airframe was flying), Jason while taking the photos started to roar with laughter... "check out the pilot"
By the time the Antares had rolled to a stop, both of us were in fits of laughter.
I suppose if you push the envelope and you miscalculate it, there is no point in getting angry at your own stupidity...
As for the airframe... it will be fixed within the week. A new canopy is already on its way. I am amazed at how resilient the Antares is. [/quote]
