have to mention my story in southern california and i'll try to make it short. a student and i took off and while on departure heard another pilot radioing in info pertaining to his emergency. the tower and pilot were very claim and the tower wished 'good luck' on the last transmission. anyways, the instructor and student in the distress a/c put it down on a golf course. he could of put it down on a interstate right by the golf course but decided not to. when i got back from my flight, asked my maintenance friend what happened. he along with the faa(i think) went over to the golf course to inspect the aircraft. the mx guy said the a/c had no damage and stated the a/c was flyable. the instructor that put it there also did the take off from the golf course. the guy does a really good job putting her down safely but damages beyond repair on takeoff. was told he pulled up to hard on takeoff and did a tail strike that bent the frame.
