I cut an 18 wheeler trailer in half with an airplane! That definitely needs some elucidation. Ran out in front of me on TO and I was past the point of no return! I clicked in another notch of flaps but didn't help that much! I was past the point of applying more back pressure and the landing gear hit middle ways of the trailer and cut both sides of the support rods which are critical to holding the trailer in tact! This trailer was coming from the cotton gin and had been designed with extra height so as to carry more cotton bales! As soon as the upper support rods of trailer were cut the whole thing cratered in the highway! Damn nigh put me down but I kept it in the air and went to Monroe, La. to land. Left gear was completely sheared and right gear was bent aft at forty-five degrees! I switched off the mags about 200' off approach end of runway hoping the prop would stop at 3 & 9 o/clock and it did! Props at that time were around $13,000 bucks. Touched down, slid on tarmac about 150' and no fire! We had the bird working again in three weeks! Made the afternoon national news! GOD IS GOOD....because I prayed a lot over 45 years and over 24,000 hours of flying time! I've never met a combat soldier or a pilot that was an athiest!!

Sam, as a "cowboy", I'll think you have found yourself in more than a few tight spots? Richard, knock on wood I've never broken a bone. How many people can say that? My dumb ass cousin broke his arm at a Mickey D's 'playland' 30 years ago but to this day I ain't broke chit. Knock on wood again! That's amazing for a guy that spends his life on a horse and wrestles cows for a living. You quite possibly may be the only living cowboy that hasn't broken a bone. I hope your streak continues for many more decades. 👍

Bench pressed 530 at 177 bodyweight and 58 years old, drug free. So far, it's the best over 50 drug free, multiply 181 bench, of all time. Probably will be for a very long time, amazing.

Surfed legit 25' plus waves. This would be a wave so big you can't tell where the bottom of the wave is as you look at it; say maybe a 40' face. At the time there was guys surfing 40' waves, huge difference.
I was diving, looking for my anchor that ripped loose after a big storm. Had a hammerhead swim by me at arms length that was so big I couldn't see his tail for his head; I'm guessing he was 16'.

Pretty proud of that, myself.
