Yet another view of the plane. After the flight which had damage, we had some tar paper squares about 4 ft on a side brought in which were placed along the landing area. That gave the pilot enough height reference to avoid more trouble. Note here that the "runway" is rather sloped so you can't just level off and set down gently. You have to fly parallel to the ground when landing.
