From the ABC on-line news report of the aborted takeoff in Adelaide this
morning:

"I suspect the front wheels weren't quite off the ground,
so we weren't in the air, but it makes you wonder if there
was enough runway to pull the plane up."

....weren't quite off the ground?

...if there was enough runway to pull the plane up?
a. Now the runway has some hitherto unknown inner power?
b. Of course there was. Otherwise, the plane would not have completed the
successful aborted takeoff.

Blimey!!

I haven't really heard of flying minis before, so I can't say I can be
really surprised about it not leaving the ground.

runway.......my mini's always taking off on the roads around here : D
