Seems like this Boggs Guy has it "Right On" again...

If the "Plan" was to do a 180... AFTER a "Launch"
on a tooo short rope...
on a tooo short Runway...

The *Genius that had suggested a "180 degree Return to Runway"
Had to be smokin something serious.
This "Plan" seems to have been "Doomed to Failure" from inception.

No. The plan was for him to do a 180. It was doomed before they even
hit the gas.

The plan was likely for him to land straight ahead after they got
their few seconds of footage.- Hide quoted text -
