JT, I agree. Us old timers grew up in a different time and it doesn't work this way now. Now we have a lot of rules that I am happy 9 yrs ago I could leave at 60. I loved the profession but it wouldn't be as much fun now with all the new stuff. I spent my last years flying into Tegucigalpa, Honduras just because the only way we could land was to break all the present rules like 1200 fpm to flair or you couldn't land. We had to fly beside a hill and were not wings level in a B757 until 100 ft, loved it plus the 70 ft cliff at the end of the 5400 ft usable runway made you do it right every time. That is the only part I miss.
