That could be; Have to check the pilot-in-command's log book entry on that one. His starboard main wheel does lift in the 'ground roll'... "it's all so up in the air"...or "asea"...depending on your point of view!

The entire air frame will have to be rejigged as the starboard wing shoulder appeared to separate slightly. And I don't want to consider the buggered prop torque on the motor mounts, but sand is soft. Altogether: VERRYLUCKY; no spectator or dwelling involved in a poor decision. I'll e-mail Sully for a professional opinion!

"Bird's the word" with him...and Stealhead!
