    Down safe and used all 2448' of the runway. Also knocked down the radio shack antenna. (No injuries were reported).

    Down on the coral runway safely but not before taking the top off a sno-cone stand. The crew will have to hose off the strawberry syrup from the gear. (The stand had already closed for the day so no one was banged up).

    Made it to Munda okay. Came in a little hot and had to employ a few "S" turns to bleed off some speed. Crew was getting a bit queasy.

    Apparently we came in low over the rec area. Post flight inspection revealed a volleyball net caught on the pitot tube. (No one was playing at the time they tell us).


    I will say this, the Superfort provides a wonderful view...

    Into AGGE. Came in a little too low over the officers club observation deck and made them scatter. (Got a stern verbal warning but no one was bruised).

    Onward to AYBK.

    Edit: Had an issue with the yoke connectivity 37 seconds into the takeoff. Restarting.

    Thanks for the heads up. I'll make sure the SBD is parked well away from the runway.

    Finally had a long runway and hit too hard right before the tarmac started. Go figure.
