"JMHO but the last thing I would be looking at when solving the drift/crab/slip equation during a 40K landing in the flare would be the other pilot's face! "

It's an art form, not a science.

I've been flying for the airlines since 1972.

You'd be surprised at what First Officers have taught this Captain.

Never a day goes by when I don't learn something. I turn 60 this year, and it will be my final day of flying.

After 2 August 2010, look for me in Nha Trang, Vietnam. If I'm not in my Condo on the beach, look for me at the Microbrewery south of town.

It will be easy to pick me out. Unlike the Russians, I don't smell bad nor do I smoke. And the woman with me will not have a mustache.
