    Kind of a rough landing, but a good duenna.... Might need a day or so to hang that left main landing gear back onto the aircraft though..

    FS went into a slide show on me on final. About all I could do was try to keep it pointed in the right direction and angle. Just lucky that I didn't get a crash out of it.

    Good stuff Willy. A few of us were sitting around the bar and wondering whether a couple of SAR missions might be required. There are still a few MIA (or stuck on tropical islands)

    What can I say, "bidness" is good in Belem, but due to r/l t-storms, tonite is going to be a no fly nite again.

    This just in from the Kellet Weather Reporter (Think 1940's Movietone news announcer voice)...

    "SBSL experiencing a bright sunny day with mild tropical breezes. Light clouds and a current temp of 85F. A wonderous time will be had by all in the utter comfort of the fantastic Boeing 307- the cat's meow of the luxury liners"
