Seen a Neptune flyby on its way to Abilene and way off in the distance(I was watching with binoculars) he dumps his load and does a 180 and then continues on. I assume he had to dump it cause he couldn't land with the load?
Mr Krouse(spell???)
Just thought it was cool seeing the load come out :shock:

Landing would not be the issue. This is not a commercial airliner. In a Neptune dumping the load means a lighter aircraft period if they have a problem and are returning. Lighter weight means increased performance.
