Mike Van Dorn comes in too high, overshoots runway, almost clobbers several people, flares to avoid hitting Dave Goto's glider, then lands in road on other side..--------I am an artist of Hawaii. See at www.VanDornArt.com

  • Oh! That was close. Nice save but Awful DBF. 

  • @NMERider Yes, awful DBF. Our Makapu'u LZ is kind of small and I had been landing a little too short and too slow so I decided to come in higher and drop down faster, but I over compensated, came in too high and fast and ran out of runway. The actual landing was good, though. Luckily no car was driving by.
