Superb job getting that back down safely. Pilots are amazing

Looked like it happened right after takeoff. Can’t imagine what it would be like an hour away from an airstrip at 5000 ft.

Also, fortunate not to get hit in the face by insects when near ground. Have seen it happen to passengers in convertibles going 60. No fun.

Doesn’t seem to be that bad, she’s smiling the whole time!

That looked both scary and extremely uncomfortable. Sounds like a good student for owning up to the pre-flight mistake.

How fast do you think the wind was hitting her face? I know next to nothing about planes

Those blinks looked painful, eyes gotta be dry as hell
