Spooling up the engines, brakes just released....
Out of nowhere, a loony in a Mooney was crossing the runway just in front of me...I tooted my horn, but he wasn't quick enough and we collided...as one would expect, the results were drastic......
...my airspeed was reduced dramatically in an instant, causing the forward cabin walls of all classes to be showered with toupees, false teeth, glass eyes and other objects detatchable from passengers under high G manoevers...
... while unscathed by this encounter with hundreds of tons of speeding metal, the Mooney departed the runway and meandered off along its programmed path. Meanwhile I had to slap on brakes, reversers and spoilers and manfully grit my teeth in order to get her to stop by the end of the runway....
Everyone had their bits put back and a nice cup of tea while we taxied back to the start of the runway... the second attempt was more successful...
...and soon we were climbing over the mountains into...
...the wide blue yonder. Happy end!
Thanks to Lemoncat for the heads up on the POSKY 'snow effect"...which can be used any time but l like how it looks in the snow....
Thanks for looking
