I eased down to Texas with another pilot who is a stand-up guy. All around a good trip.
As for the landing, you'll soon learn that was another story in itself. I typically have pretty good luck rolling that big dude on, but today my friends, it was not to be. You see, the skies were angry today, yes………..oh so angry. ANGRY I TELL YA! If I've ever seen angry, I seen it today.
With a slight hint of a sharp winter's breeze, the wind Gods danced upon the rudder, matching my inputs, tit for tat (You didn't hear me, I said Tit for Tat) only to relent as I tamed that bad boy, ever so slightly slipping the reversers into Idle deploy, and bringing that smoke wagon to a redeeming halt.
Indeed, the skies won this one; celebrating their rare victory with rewarding rays of a warm Texan Spring sun in the dead of Winter. But make no mistake about, I'll be back. Yes, I've landed to land another day. But the winds have called down the thunder, well now they got it; I’m coming, tell the winds I’m coming and HE11’s coming with me!
So be on the look-out above my fellow pilots, as I'll be cruising through the skies, defeating the dastardly blows of ruthless winds, yaw by yaw, cross control by cross control. Hear me now when I tell you, I'll be prepared when the power is retarded to flight Idle and they attempt to rear they ugly heads with 1 purpose only; that purpose being a futile swipe at robbing a brotha' of his perfectly timed and well earned meeting with the asphalt of markings, numbers, stripes, widths, and lengths.
Ok, that was Gayy and I'm so bored I am debating on whether to go rent Stealth or Dune.
Your turn...............
