Landing in a Tropical Storm

Not long ago I had to go around because a Twotter couldn't go faster then 130 to the marker.

That about sums it up. We can do 160 if she's firewalled in the decsent on a approach.

Yes,
the Twotter does some amazing things! If your light and get a little headwind you can have her off the ground in the length of a heavy jet or less.

I use to land the Twotter in about 400' with light braking and little use of the props. I miss that. I remember during training, we had the thing slowed down to about 45-50 KIAS. Amazing...
The airplane reminds me of a big J-3 cub, only a little easier to keep going straight on the runway.

I've flown with a Captain who has landed one almost in its track with a good headwind. I think it was 30-40 kts. He says that he landed and directly abeam a taxiway and turned as soon as he made his touchdown.

Sorry, I guess we better get back on the original topic.
