Crosswind Refresher- Just plop it in?

When in doubt put the rubber on the road and the gear to the stops. Just make her stick.

Sorry if it won't play although it tricked me by doing so in the preview. I have been unable to separate the link from an aol mail attachment as a separate wav file to post.

Re: Crosswind Refresher- Just plop it in?

I wonder what the conditions were at the time?
That might be where the saying came from that it is better to be on the ground wishing you were in the air than in the air wishing you were on the ground!
Looked like a good landing, probably every one walked away, I sure hope everyone had there seat belts on.

All bets are he can't make it with a prop on the front and still be able to taxis off the runway. He was cheating using a jet.
