Innuendo Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 If you pause the video you can see his nose wheel below the top of the fence. He's lucky to have got away with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.O. Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 He definitely hit the fence. If you watch closely, one of the fence poles can be seen toppling toward the runway just after he goes through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeker Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Yup, below the fence. If you pause a quarter second later you can see the sand kicked up from landing before the threshold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
