capt bruce Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 Irish's plane is green , that plane has red on the wing tips so I dont think its his . Glad that no one was hurt but the plane didnt come out very well, maybe some work for Irish's shop . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishfield Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 (edited) I won't comment on the issue... other than no it wasn't me. Airplane is actually still in excellent condition, floats are another story. I still haven't got mine up there... been a tad tied up with family matters. But my brother survived his quint bypass today (6 hours in OR) and I hope to be flying to the lake late tomorrow or Friday... and I'll try not to land in the "short" lane !

Roy Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 Some guys just don't realize that when it rains on a lake, the surface gets super slick and you need to keep your distance to brake in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannyboy Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 "Although I hear he hit the dock still doing 40 knots!" 40 knots? dang, he'd be darn near airborne, well up on-step anyway. Was he trying to land on the dock!? Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 The driver was probably texting. Damn.. is there a law against that now? Now what am I gonna do know while going cross country?

Was he trying to land on the dock!? Dan Yes definitely sliding on the step Dan and not in a channel we normally use for landing unless there's some good wind.. First time there.. raining.. probably a quick decision to land that obviously didn't go well. About sums it up... kinda like day dreaming and bumping some guy at the lights in your car. (just more expensive!) I won't say anything further on an open forum other than crap happens. Edited July 15, 2010 by irishfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
