Anyone flying yesterday!

Anyone in the air yesterday evening?

I flew into Southampton around 21:30 and had a real rollercoaster of a landing. Masses of turbulence once we broke through the cloud and then had to abort the first landing & go around. The girl in the seat in front of me was in tears by the time we got on the ground.

cool - sounds just like one of my landings in my little cessna.
Mind you commercials don't tend to do a 'go around' unless they really, really, really have to!

Yes and she was the pilot!!!!!!!!

Pah! Get yourself on a proper aircraft! I haven't done a go-around for about 2 years /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

No but am looking forward to getting on a big silver bird on Monday night to go home to my mistress - and SWMBO of course.

Not been up to Prestwick lately then!! Last week Wind 220 at 45-55kts bit taxing for the "Atlas" air cargo boys landing on 13/31.

I've never done a go-around. But then I don't have an engine, so don't have much choice. Ended up landing in a field once or twice.

Reminds me of this:

Arrived at Gatwick around 8.30pm thursday (on an A300), and yes it seemed quite bumpy once we left the cloud base, at around 3500ft, right down to near touchdown. Curious, as we had had a very smooth flight up to then.

Touchdown smooth enough unlike last time, with a strong cross wind that made the plane do a major skid ... The Pilot came on as we taxied in, saying we had had a trainee pilot at the controls, and 'hadn't the lad done well on a difficult landing.....' greeted by a stony silence from the passenger cabin!

Bill,
Note = no U in QANTAS.... /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif The rest is probably true.

I remember a guy, outlanding a glider- decided his chosen field was full of rocks - closed the airbrakes and hopped into the next field - full of trees - streched his glide into the next field - and that was a lake ! As for me I've done many outlandings, one on the outskirts of Soweto the day before the riots others in cemetarys, ploughed fields and dirt roads - met a lot of interesting people !
