I know there's some parallax involved but still that looks so short! Was there an arresting cable? Quote

You know it's short (and hot) when the Mooney M20J starts cursing "*&&&#!" with stall warner on approche and liftoff "teet, teet...", this reminds me of American film broadcasted on British TV Nice pictures of Scilies, it was a lovely week for flying in UK !
