Do you think there was a little pucker factor climbing out ?!?

Puckered for sure. It would be the stuff of nightmares.

It looks like the tail caught in a crack when the nose dropped down.

It also looks like they were landing downhill....must not have been their day to go.


ALLEN W. JOHNSON - DRSS

Into my heart on air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?
That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.

A. E. Housman

Anytime someone asks what "cliff hanger" means you can show them this photo.

Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo.

There are old pilots and bold pilots, but there are no old and bold pilots! Not original, but one of aviations greatest truisms!

Let's see
"IF" this was a normal landing downhill

I have one vision

power to the firewall and hope to gain airspeed with some of the height off of the cliff.

Yeah, that's right, but there's one exception: Chuck Yeager. He was bold, and he got old.

What about Bob Hoover?

That must have been one heck of a ride over the edge!

I'd agree that Bob Hoover Might have been "bold"

But Chuck Yeager?

No, very calculating, very controlled.

Just "Better" than most normal men.

Real Genius is making the near impossible look easy...
