Ejection Handle Pulled
So, flying down to Russellville, AR yesterday to pick up some dogs includes quite a bit of flying over relatively hostile terrain. Most of it was pretty hostile actually; hills, trees, bluffs and creeks.
I've flown across this area often and have a LOT of good long fields along creeks loaded as user waypoints in my GPS. EM1, EM2, EM3, etc.
Unfortunately, yesterday, a majority of them were scattered with round bales of hay. And, you know what? A 4x5 round bale weighing about 800# might hurt just a tad at 40 to 60 mph.
Whereas a square bale might take a gear off but not be nearly as likely to kill you.
If only kids still knew how to work in hayfields. Oh well just hope the fan doesn't quit and keep on flying.
