Are you sure he wasn't just using his nosewheel to check runway tarmac strength prior to landing??

It should have been contained in a shrubbery, do you know any good Shrubbers? Roger comes to mind if you can't find any others.

I am surprised that the two of them can legally fit in that aircraft, the payload is tiny.

I'm sure if I asked for a "low approach" in my old clunker, a certain YMMB tower controller would insist (in her best school-marm tone) that I "Land Immediately!!!" Must have been a quiet day.

You can please some of the people all the time, you can please all the people some of the time, but you can't please all the people all the time. You do know who Ernst Udet was? An aviator of considerable skill, and fame for those skills.

Piper; Back around 1989 there was a Tower Controller at Port Moresby who sounded somewhat differently to the description you give above.

Just try to imagine Marilyn Monroe saying, in the same voice she sang to JFK, "Happy Birthday Mr President"

'Sierra Alpha Bravo, Clear to land.'

Nearly 35 years later and I can still hear her!



Found out her name but never did meet her!
