God will judge King Richard III, says Ulster cleric.
The Fermanagh-born cleric who will say prayers of welcome at the re-interment of King Richard lll has said God will judge the king, not him.
(Belfast Telegraph)

If God hasn't got round to that task yet, he must have an awful backlog. Mind, I don't plan to join that queue anyway.

Plane with nobody aboard crashes at Nipawin, Sask.

Quote:

A plane with nobody aboard crashed in a field near Nipawin, Sask., and sure enough, nobody was hurt.

It happened shortly before 6 p.m. CST Thursday at the Nipawin Airport, the RCMP said.
An initial investigation revealed the pilot tried to “prop start” the plane by standing in front and spinning
the propeller by hand. The engine turned over, but before he could get inside the Aeronca Chief two-seater,
it began moving forward on the taxiway, gaining enough speed after 10 metres to become airborne.

Police said the pilot was left behind, embarrassed but uninjured.

A little later, the plane crashed.

The plane became airborne in 33 feet?

Misprint at the least...

perhaps there was a fine headwind that gave the wings greater lift

let's not talk about treadmills though, please.

there's a short vid around here of such a light plane landing on a mountain ridge, the guy gets out, has lunch, and turns the plane around and flits off into the clouds again. almost unbelievable. they really do need a surprisingly low speed to attain liftoff.

found it.

and in my search for *that one*, I found *this one*.

Seriously, they just jump into the air.

In the top video, that pilot had to make a damn good estimate
of exactly how far he would "roll" before going over the rim top.

I could just imagine his wife saying:
So the engine won't start, and you are where ???
You Fool, what were you thinking ?

I bet I watched that second vid ten times.

Head wind helped, but, dayum.

me too!!!!

srsly. it takes off in just over one plane length. boioioioing!!!! and poof, it's gone. It took me a bit to realize the literal truth about the title. it touches down, and rolls to a stop in about ten feet. from that stop, it then launches/takes off/springs into the air.

amazing.
