"right so in some ways fiction still at the moment! "

Granted, I was enjoying a swift half, but in this episode, it seemed to me that not only did it land perfectly, but it cleared the active, taxied to the gate, parked, and all without burying nose or wingtip in a jetbridge, bag cart or the terminal; and with nary a pilot, a plucky flight attendant, or a gnarly piston pounding retiree to guide it. Perhaps in a few years with SATNAV and some other black arts, but not today I think.
