i did flightless flights up and down the airstrip on saturday.  

it just wouldn't leave the ground.

I did that in my Polaris Microlight in a car park in Balcatta. It’s powered by a Rotax 503 and 60” three blade prop. For the first three metres or so it took off slowly then gripped the wind and virtually flew, up on one rear wheel, then the other before a dramatic tumble down the car park. 
After that I need a new prop and a fair bit of skin regrowth. It may have helped if I’d fitted a helmet and attached the seatbelt 🥹.

Remember the bloke on the news that drove the Cessna down to pub in Newman. That was a classic

Not all aircraft are Cessnas Brendan, the guy in Newman had a rare Beechcraft Skipper.

It’s funny I’ve just completed driving a plane across the Pacific and I’d rather fly my bug smashers at grass level than 49000’!😂

Not quite 49000’, closer to 4900’ but I got overtaken by Rex out of Winton.  
Good separation by good communication.
