Hard landing issues???

[Hugh Jarse]

Jarse I have heard several F/A comment that ex Dash drivers make better landers! Is that what you mean?

Gidday Clarrie,

If you're talking about "nailing them", you're asking the wrong guy. (Being married and all that), you know "I know nothhhhink" (Best Sgt. Schultz voice)

What would Mrs. Claret think?

[Capt Claret]

No, no, no, Jarse. I said landing, not nailing. Mrs C would not be amused.

That wouldn't happen to be Turkey Creek CTAF the other day when you brought back half the 'runway' with ya would it ? Perhaps the twun just shat itself after the first 9g's which would explain the mess

You are 100% correct about the DHC-5 Tyggs, however, 'Buggy-One' or 'Never Lands Gently' would obviously represent a better choice for the day.

BTW how locked into project Buffalo Bungles™ are you, my associate Sanchez says he has a An-225 sittin' round doin' nothin' with between 19-45 TBO on each hairdryer... Be good for those Bungles, do the whole season in one day PM me if your interested. You could even cut operating costs by conducting a single circuit off PKU, you could even call it the Mriya Miramar Bungles' Bungle™ ...

Zulu_one...

Think you may be confusing me with someone else. I know the guy you're talking about and its not me, although I did work at the same company a while ago.

Also I think Bungles in an AN225 would be great if the aircraft had windows.

Cheers,
Tiger.
