| 1323061 | 2013-01-16 05:48:00 | I've had this on my hard drive for a while and thought you may be interested ... A TAP Portugal A320-214 aircraft landing at Lajes, Azores, in a strong crosswind! The starboard undercarriage is stressed to the max, and look how close the wing is to the runway ... :eek: |

| 1323063 | 2013-01-16 07:05:00 | That would be just a normal day at work for the Wellington pilots, wouldn't it? :p Have you ever posted details of any of your exciting piloting experiences WalOne? Would be keen to read them. |

Would be keen to read them. Never thought about it ... I've had a few exciting such events, but there's much more that could be contributed by some of our flying regulars. Aviators call recall of piloting experiences "Hangar Flying" - what most flyers indulge in after a hard day in the office (read training, flight examinations, the boredom of the passing scenery at FL310), mixed with a reasonable amount of liquor, BS and increasingly exciting recollections of acts of superb skill and leadership. Until these are brought to a sudden stop. Hopefully not against the side of a mountain, but usually by retirement, lack of sponsored fun flying - i.e. Air force when it has the funds to do so - lack of $$$$, or the arrival of a SWMBO. Stay posted ... that's food for thought :) |

| 1323068 | 2013-01-16 08:54:00 | No, not the conveyor belt again. | Whenu (9358) | ||
| 1323069 | 2013-01-16 09:27:00 | Not again; still. It's an endless belt you see. ;) |
