Yep, I knew someone would let the cat out of the bag. And for those who do not know what Joe means: As I landed at Oshkosh this past Airventure, I was in front of Joe and Mark Langford, you see they chickened out in the clouds and did a 360° to restart their approach but that is another story in itself, anyway as I was rolling out on runway 27 I was directed by the tower to exit the runway into the grass and as I did so as soon as the mains hit the grass I sank down in the soft ground to my axles. This left everything from the main gear back sticking out over the runway so the tower shut down runway 27 until we cleared the runway. Fortunately that took only about 3 or 4 minutes as several guys came running over and we lifted her and rolled her onto more solid ground. Yep, I would be willing to bet I am the only KR to shutdown runway 27 at Airventure. Mark Jones (N886MJ) Stevens Point, WI E-mail: flyk...@charter.net Web: www.flykr2s.com
