 necessary.  Hey everyone is looking for a good airplane salvage.  The

This brought to mind a story a friend of mine tells, it involves stupid 
pilots also:

My friend (the RV builder) was invited on a flight to a local back country 
strip by a friend of his
 (the pilot) who had just attended a back country flight course and wanted 
to
 show off his skills.  Landing was uneventfule but on takeoff the pilot 
pulled the plane
off the runway to soon and it mushed toward the trees. The pilot  pointed 
the plane toward
 an adjacent gravel road and the builder organized his last thoughts.
 Fortunately the airplane went between two tress which sheared off the wings 
and as the
 fuselage groung to a halt on the gravel road the builders eyes turned to 
the panel and
 he thought "That is a good radio and transponder...."
