But given a choice of a dogleg left or a Wal-mart roof during engine

For some reason the golf course just doesn't look like such a good
option from the air...so many trees and doglegs.. I can't see any
fairways, but I know they're there...I've played the course (very
narrow).

However, there is a Home Depot and a strip mall just beyond. I've
often wondered if the roof could withstand a landing...it looks like
an easier target than a runway! It would be VERY tempting if I were
coming down. The parking lot seems uninviting with all the light
poles and people. What do you guys think? Would the roof make it?


It would be like a carrier landing, only without the engine for a
"wave off". Land short and you could be accordioned.
