Happened right in front of the jet flight line coming across runway 26 from northeast to southwest. We were just buttoning up after our heat. I thought he was going to wind up in our laps.

There was an seminar at Sun and Fun years ago where they talked about how to best crash an airplane without a suitable place to land...and this guy did it...a cartwheel. The energy is dissipated more slowly and the G Forces are minimized. They looked at a number of crashes and found that in those that cartwheeled, the pilot walked away. Your comments?
