Wonder if they can fly the plane out again?

Perhaps with 1 hour fuel, no baggage, no passengers and a light pilot?

It will become quite a headache if they can't fly out!

If I were the pilot I would have dropped into the hospital and given that passenger what he wanted.

That's a big paddock put a few more pounds of air in the tyres. Plenty of room with a few knots on the nose.

Having a read of the posts, how does this fit in with the theories that abounded?

 

Perhaps a lesson in distinguishing fact from theory...

 

Kudos to the young man who kept things upright.
