on the way home we were talking about the door coming open and how it affects the airplane. not 5 minutes later the phucker blew! and a shot of downtown just for kicks....oh, yeah, when the door gave way, we were north of houston enroute to DWH or David Wayne Hooks airport. we thought we'd fixed the problem but on take off from there, right before rotation the door blew again. abort take off. *think* we fixed the door again. nope. right after rotation BAM! we are committed to take off so we do. then after we assess the situation, we continue the flight back to la porte airport with the door open. in a single engine it's really no big deal but in a twin you have to hang onto it and keep it as shut as possible. safe? yes and no. if you know what your doing and don't turn a non-emergency into an emergency, you'll be ok.
