To: Cicero

I think he may have realized too late that he was in deep stuff and accelerated to try to lift off.

If he came in at 4 times the speed of norman planes, he’d have to touched down at about 400 mph. I think a normal jetlines corsses the fence about 120 knots.

.....and accelerated to try to lift off.

Concur. Looks like he touched down long (ie., down the runway as opposed to the end where the numbers are) and attempted to rotate again.

Just wasn't enough enough time for the engines to spool back up to get the airspeed back.

JMO, of course....

That would make sense—that he aborted the landing and tried to take off again.

Remind me not to fly into that airport.
