    Am out of the country at the mo, and
    Watched it live.

    Touched down right down the middle of the runway... AWESOME effort. I was thinking "They get my business" but then wondered if they are up to date with all the required mods on the aircraft, including the known fault that causes the front landing gear to do exactly that...

    OOPSIE!

    Yeah, budget airline and all that. You get what you pay for, I suppose.

    However, let's not take anything away from the pilot. Gini and I watched it live. Nice wheelie.

    I'd say the pilot just helped his career out no end.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.
