I have to admit I would have been tempted to make a touch-and-go landing on that giant landing pad.

I have to admit I would have been tempted to make a touch-and-go landing on that giant landing pad.

Me too, it was the second time I came across such a tempted landing pad.
But I didn't dare trying too land,always afraid the bird does not take off any more after landing it.
