Don't like three-twenty, oh no.

I love her!

(with apologies to 10CC)

A320 is jolly good girl. She was boldly taken by 579 hr TT F/O where no test pilot has gone before, she was treated with left stick in right crosswind decrab, she was landed on the downwind gear.

Result?

One bent wingtip fence.

I'm not sure whether it was Randy Cunningham or Robin Olds that, referring to F-4, said: Airplane is like your wife, you have to love her good sides and learn to live with the bad ones. Applicable to any aeroplane, I'd add.

Despite the rumors to the contrary, 320 is still full-blooded aeroplane and will happily chew any SysOp foolishly buying the hype of "You needn't be pilot to fly A320". Our love affair was brief and happy, a couple of quarrels between us. most of them were my fault, were quickly resolved by using both red buttons. Worked like a charm every time.
