Post by: tim on August 09, 2005, 15:37:43
Politics apart.
Overdue - & then some - agonising - night landing - strange air base - & a WOMAN pilot.

Give the girl a medal!!

And  remember - dead-stick landing - no second chance!

Brilliant I say Tim!  Well done her  ;D
We watched the one go up after the 1st crash at an American airbase, was sooooooooo  exciting.

oh yes!
there's something about astronauts that makes me feel so proud of them no matter where they're from.
i think i'll go and listen to the moody blues 'nights in white satin' to celebrate!
i do love a happy ending  ;D

I think the whole team are wonderful  God Bless them, so glad they landed safely, can breathe a sigh of relief now had my doubts for their safety at one stage.

I received a medal once, Tim, in a spot landing conest at Aberdeen - wasn't aware that there was a contest; would have missed it by yards had I known I was being watched!

Negative.  Cherokee.  Surprise, though, that the landing of the  Shuttle had to be "visual" with all this "fly by wire" technology about.
