Here's a dust devil out near Kermit, Texas.

Why’d you scare me by putting this title in mishaps??? Sigh.

Wichita Falls, Texas, today.

If the plane made it to NM and then refueled… one has to wonder what happened at the fuel stop. Hopefully the pilot will be able to provide insight.

If my memory serves me right, ol’ Lindy may have only had a skid! I think my Luscombe might’ve been originally delivered with a skid as well.

I wasn’t asking for myself, but to offer some suggestions based on experience.

Where are you located(?) and give me a call at the number on my website. Depending on how experienced the school is that might be fine or it might be a terrible idea.

Can you imagine how much trouble those of us in the Professional Aerial Photographers Association International are in??? https://professionalaerialphotographers.com/

For the record, I use fltplngo almost every single time I fly on my iPhone as a backup and while it’s not perfect, it is completely adequate for many things. I have a company supplied iPad with Foreflight on it that we use for aerial photography and I’m cheap so I don’t like to buy a second...

I think you’d be better off trying to become a sport pilot instructor.

Not the right kind of turns for thermaling… ?

Almost looks like a powerline flip.

Looks like he might've put the gear lever down at the last moment judging from the video. I think I'd have kept it up, after my Cardinal experience, - think that may be part of why the aircraft was less stable on the skid - but good landing for sure.

Whoops!

You already look shady here... so just go get the endorsement before it becomes a bigger issue.
