Y'all Gotta Know How to Fly
Couldn't agree with you more for those who have commented on basic flying skills required to land the MD.
For those who haven't flown it, well, there are those who have, and there are those who have yet to.
Further, Burger Things comments are very apt - in a savage Xwind, I prefer the MD to le Bus. Same goes for its FMS.
Keep the blue side up.
