|  Had my first Booboo...
I was flying the 206 into a 1200' strip and I got the nose to high and scrapped the tail cone (actually the stinger, its on wheels but set up as a seaplane) nothing bad, purely cosmetic, but damn that's the first time in 1400TT I've ever hurt an airplane. Bent it back down so it wouldn't bind, then flew it back, went to the shop and worked the kinks out, but damn that's embarrasing, that was only the second time I've been into that strip too.

you could use it again, no big deal. When I worked as a flight instructor I saw what you could call damage...and when I say damage, it hurt me just looking.

still, it just pissed me off that I could let it happen, let that be a lesson to me I guess, #### happens, make the best of it, and don't get cocky. What bothered me most is that it was a revenue flight.

Just a FYI: I'd use some discretions posting somethings on the innerweb, especially now that the FEDS are in enforcement mode.

Well, I "unapproved" the pertinent posts, but to be honest it won't make a difference. The thread has almost assuredly already been archived somewhere on the 'net, and taking them out here won't change that.
