Contributing Member Award Icon

Thanks Bill,

We got it. When I get back in town I’ll issue contributing member icons to those pilots who have made contributions this week. I’m hoping to be back in the US Saturday, but with a snow storm expected to drop about 13 inches of snow there when my plane is due, I’m not sure when I’ll get back.

Hah Oswald, so true!

As it turns out we were put in holding patter for about 1 half hour while they cleared the still-accumulating snow from the runway. Then, we were third in line to land, so it put us in about an hour later than expected. The fact that we could land at all in such weather says much about the skill and technology of the airlines, airports and the people working there. It was a bit scary on landing - planed swaying from side to side, which was something I wasn't used to experiencing.

The white-knuckle drive home from the airport was even more frightening because the drivers around me had significantly less skill and professionalism than the pilots in the air and at the airport.

Regardless...I'm back and hopefully have caught up on those pending tasks. Now on to flying some Econ and Adventure flights.
