I've flown all the way from New York, and i'm coming in to land at Bermuda Int. a very strange flight plan for a Sun Country bird, lol Grin It was a PERFECT landing!! Flaps full down, spoilers up! Ladies & Germs, we will be landing shortly Wink

...

Lined up with runway 30

...

A gust of wind blows N738SC to the left

...

One or two people i heard puking in first class due to our VERY low altitude

...

Spoilers Up!! One kid in the plane 4 or something years old screamed, since he was scared of moving parts on the wing Roll Eyes Cheesy

...

A few more people puking at 110 ft AGL Wink

...

I'm sure some of the folks on the beach had thier cam's ready Cheesy

...

TOUCHDOWN!! A veeeeeery nice and smooth landing!

...

Slowing down...

So i taxied to the gate, and 325 people got off the giant bird. Whilst i waited, i took a 7 foot line of the onboard yarn supply, and did a bit of knitting. Something the flight engineer taught me and my co-pilot how to do, lol. Grin

Hope you enjoyed!

Mike
