Hinkle was the second location (and first large yard) to use RCL. As expected, there was a "Learning Curve." All of the incidents that I'm aware of - and I followed this pretty closely - were attributed to operator error or unfamiliarity. The famous photos of the 807 buried in the dirt on its side are an example.
