Noticed on the road angel group, they have a picture of the aircraft, look like a sling 2, with nose wheel collapsed.

Looking at the blurred colours on the tail it certainly seems to be one of their aircraft.

If you don't gear up your brain before takeoff, you'll probably gear up your airplane on landing.

Happy to see they kept it on the fairway - landing in the rough or the sand on that hole, makes reaching the green in two very tough.

Rather a successful forced landing than “ac down” or “crashed plane”.
