Would this be a short landing or a bad take off?

Nice action shot! Caught it mid-flip, judging from the kicked up dirt.

A pilot once told me: any landing you can walk away from is a good landing, any landing that lets you reuse the plane is great landing.

My dad was a pilot and he told me the four basic flight manuvers that all pilots learn: Stall, Spin, Crash and Burn. I guess there was one more.

Sorry jcs. No.

It was from one of those spammer trolling emails that a relative sends me. You know the ones, the spammer hopes a fool will 'respond all' on.

So I have no URL. Try google images.
