Most of the landings that I've had there were best characterized as.... forthright. A lot like I imagine a carrier landing would be, a brisk planting of the wheels on the tarmac and an immediate and forceful application of the brakes.<br /><br />Manchester has a short runway.Historianhttp://www.libertyhollow.weebly.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-12269633841310141092014-01-02T13:16:14.013-06:002014-01-02T13:16:14.013-06:00When I commented on an exceptionally good landing ...When I commented on an exceptionally good landing in Caracas some years ago, the American Airlines pilot just said, "Yeah, we get lucky sometimes".Timbonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-42394800520761738162014-01-01T14:44:23.456-06:002014-01-01T14:44:23.456-06:00Hey Peter,

I was on one similar, I was in a Delta Boeing 767 and the pilot greased it in, you didn't feel the transition at all and the pilot didn't use the TR at all. When I was leaving I told the flight attendants that was an exceptional good landing and pass the kudo's to the pilot. The head stewardess told me "hang on a second" and the pilot came out and the pilot was a "she" I commented that I have flown a lot and that was by far the best landing I had even seen. She smiled and told me "thank you".<br /><br /> She is still the standard I judge others.<br /><br /> MrGarabaldihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05768774166065615995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-89585911683719717852014-01-01T12:30:19.518-06:002014-01-01T12:30:19.518-06:00Nice.
