As it happens I have- mtow t/o about 370 tons landed about 255tons 35 kts on a wet runway with a minima cloud base- I'm not blowing my own trumpet it was a dash of skill with a bit of luck that resulted in a smooth landing. My point again is don't slag off one group of aviators just because you perceive what you did was the worlds greatest aviation feat- I was a military pilot and did some pretty crazy flying but I've done some equally scary stuff in civil flying with some very gifted aviators. Just because you wrote the 1 group AAR tanker SOPs doesn't make you the voice of pilotage!
