Well, for what I read, IMO, a flight with Capt. 411A would be quite a learning experience, certainly you have a personality that somehow resembles that of one my favourite instructors back in flight school. Surely the best flights were made with that instructor.

You might remember an Colombian MD-82 crashing nearby the Colombia-Venezuela border some 4 years ago...he almost had to fly that flight. He flew the airplane from Medellín (Home base) to Panama City, and stayed in a hotel there...the next leg, Panama City to Martinique was the one that crashed.

He was the one who once in my very early hours said to me while landing at MDE "If you cover the runway with the airplane nose, it's time to go-around". Don't know if such an "adagio" applies to other types...
