RE: Poor nexstar taking a beating...
What lessons did you learn?
For example, what do you think the probability is of being able to turn back to the runway?
And what are the consequences of hitting the runway flat out? You've just experienced the best case, how often do you think that's what happens?
It's kewl to have something like that turn out with no damage. Good deal.
But beginners need to learn from their mistakes. What do you think you shouldn't do again?
