I don't get it. Everybody here rants about the media when they jump to
conclusions and print stupid **** in the papers. Aren't we doing the same thing here? Everybody's looking at a picture of an airplane in a tree and assuming it's the airplane's fault. Hasn't it occurred to anybody that this might have been one of those FAA-standard 50 foot trees that leap up out of nowhere to catch unsuspecting airplanes (kind of like Charlie Brown's kite-eating tree)? |

The tree doesn't look to be 50 ft tall, but you definitely do have a point... As a snow skier, I am well aquainted with the fact that there are certain trees who take a perverse pleasure in jumping out in front of you and attacking you... Hell, if you don't believe me, just ask Sonny Bono or Michael Kennedy... Oh, wait a minute... You *can't* ask them since they were stalked and eventually murdered by a tree... Of course, some witnesses swear that there was a second tree at the snow-covered knoll when Michael Kennedy was murdered Of course, it wasn't truly Michael Kennedy's fault since he was given skiing lessons by the same person who gave Teddy driving lessons... -- "Plant a tree, kill a Kennedy..." |

Ever wonder how the military trains their pilots? Here is clear example of a military style short field takeoff with 50ft obstacle. http://www.aviatordave.com/flight_school.htm#takeoff David |

Nope. Those trees have been there a long time. Ron Lee |
