[QUOTE]Originally posted by Henry Kisor: [QB] As long as we're talking about memorable flights: Circa 1968: Miami to Marathon in the Keys on a Cape Air (I think) DC-3, sitting in the last row, and landing in a stiff and gusty crosswind. The pilot executed a perfect wing-low approach and flare, then kicked the nose the rest of the way with a tromp on the rudder pedal, touching down with a small thunk. I really felt that last maneuver. Those old DC-3s could wag their tails. Circa 1984-5: JFK to De Gaulle in an Air France 747 first class, as a press guest of the airline. Since then I have never eaten so well, or partaken of such classic wines. (However, the head flight attendant, taking note of my deafness, asked if I would like to be met at the door by a wheelchair. I never quite figured that one out.) [/QB][/QUOTE]
