Great post John:
There are only two airplanes that I would really love to fly before I get to senile to get in one,
first would be the Spit. then the Super Connie.
The most important part of your story for me was finally someone verifys that the turning approach to a landing is the easiest, only thing to remember is don't drag the wing. I use that approach with pilots who are having trouble judjing the flare height among other things.
Anyhow thanks again.
