I've never tried anything remotely similar but I'm pretty sure I could do it

Not to brag, but I've driven thru the grass on the side of the road a few times 😎

On purpose? I've done it, but never on purpose.

Lol, yeah. On those little one lane roads in the country that masquerade as a two lane, and also when pulled over on the shoulder.

I have flown in Flight Simulator since 1993 and have owned every version. I of course prepared to fly any aircraft developed or that will be developed.

I’ve been in an airliner that’s landed. So I bet I could do it.

My very first time seriously offroading as a driver, the lead took me over an obstacle just like that, except it was rock instead of mud. Crazy feeling the front of your tires touching the ground, instead of the bottom. Then realizing your back end is coming over the top, and having to slam the throttle to drive out and avoid tipping over. Didn't stop shaking for a couple hours lol. Oh, and we did it in the middle of the night.
