Maybe one day lugnut57 will feel like putting up the toasting smilies with the pride that you have shown when talking about his incident on the Dragon earlier this year.
Right now, I think he probably still feels more like these guys: [smiley=dunce2.gif] [smiley=oops.gif] [smiley=cry2.gif] [smiley=sauer055.gif] [smiley=zstupid.gif]
Not sure if "pride" is the right word Brian. Maybe in a weird sort of way it is. Not really sure [smiley=nixweiss.gif] .
I've only been down twice over the miles. There've been enough other times that something was close to know that I've been both lucky and good; cause good sure as the world don't account for all of it. Hell, I wouldn't have been surprised not to make it back under that bridge when that mega-storm cell blew a semi rig over in front of and behind me on the highway outside of Ottawa a couple of weeks ago. Never before been out in wind so hard that the rain water it threw bloodied my nose and that cell came in so fast there was no avoiding it.
But I've still fortunately bounced only twice in God knows how many miles. I look at it the same I do flying. A bad landing is always, I mean always, to be learned from. So are good landings. And any landing that you can walk, limp or crawl away from is a good one. So there's nothing to be ashamed of [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
