Wrong Way Landing at F70 French Valley

This was email to me


A lady last week tried landing the wrong direction at French Valley with a quarterly crosswind in a Piper warrior. She drifted off the runway and clipped the tail of a brand new Cessna G1000 that was taxiing. She applied full power and was now heading towards the aircraft parked on the field.

They were lucky to walk away with minor cuts and bruises. They were renting out of Brown Field and were insured. Damage claims from this accident will be high.

Women drivers! :isadizzy:


And after that comment I will run and hide because I know the next thing will be :pop4: :blind:
 
Yes indeed.....I would bet the insurance carrier for that rental bird is having a real crappy day after that one was reported.
 
Boy it surely looks like someone should have died in that one.

That should be a hint for her give up the pilots license its not for you. :kilroy:
 
Unbelievable........even more unbelievable is the fact the lady tried to land the wrong way.:isadizzy:
 
Naw, I see that all the time. Usually it really doesn't matter.

I've also seen small commuter jet pilots land on the taxiway instead of the runway.

I'm not a pilot in real life (but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express), but at least a couple of times in FSX I've arrived at an unfamiliar airport and performed my approach lined up on a wide taxiway instead of the runway.
