After 30+ years of flying I can't decide whether I'm a poser or wannabe. Ah well, maybe I'm both.

It WAS also one out of two flights I've felt insecure in a plane, the other one nearly putting the aircraft upside down into terrain as the A/C flipped over (roughly 100 degrees from level) due to a strong windgust from the side on the turn to final. Approach to that airport has since been changed AFAIK.
I'd be curious to know how you estimated the angle of bank, and the subsequent procedural changes at the airport.

Not bashing you or questioning your judgment, just curious that's all.
