Had he been really lucky his engine wouldn't taken a dump and he would have kept trucking along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The moment your engine craps out on you during takeoff, in flight or landing is the instance where the plane no longer belongs to you. It belongs to the insarance company at that point. I love my mooney, but if it means maybe save the mooney and myself and my family/passengers, or garentee i can save myself and passengers, totaling the airplane, I know which one I'm picking. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
