Lost another ES in March

Forums: 

This one went under the radar as it happened at an uncontrolled airfield. The NTSB nor the FAA have investigated this incident but we may have learned the background story of this incident.

Guy in pickup says to them they might consider a go around but they reply they got it. Subsequently they went off the end. Claimed brake failure….
