Default Re: 260 Almost Gone

i watched it from standing right next to him.

he was almost inverted in a rolling harrier and it just shut off, then he rolled the rest of the way to get it upright, and gained as much airspeed as possible to make it more of a level landing then going straight in.

Quick thinking under pressure
