Tony!! Thank you for manning up! I truly hate to see anyone loose a plane/jet and the money and time involved. The take off was an extreme F-18 take off, but nothing too extreme in my opinion. It was after the EXTREME snap, that you should have, the best you could, set the jet up for landing, instead of going around a couple times at moderate to high speeds. I am glad to hear that your components are ok for the next one!! That's the positive attitude!! Don't let it get you down! Dan

Please understand that it is easy to criticize from the bleachers!!
