Huh?Two of my friends pulled a couple of guys out of a 177 that missed that tree and hit another one!
I remember the phone call.
My Friend: We pulled these guys out of a plane... would have left them in it but fuel was everywhere. They hit a tree and split the plane open.
Me: That tree is scary!
My Friend: No, not that tree!

Why would the plane be drifting (I assume this means turning) left on the ground if he was already applying right rudder?The pilot stated that during a visual approach to Runway 25 at 3T0 he utilized left aileron and right rudder control inputs, based on a crosswind from the south. As the airplane descended below a tree line, the wind decreased and the airplane drifted to the left. During touchdown and rollout on the turf runway, the airplane continued to drift to the left. The pilot attempted to input right rudder, but felt like his input was not having any effect.
We all expect that someone will hit that tree someday. When he told me someone hit a tree, I expected it to be that one.Huh?
And that tree at the end on the runway is really off to the side. Only a problem if you get fixated....
