REFLECTOR:Follow up on my bad landing

[Ronnie Brown]

Hey, Scott D, you're running your mouth before putting it in gear,
AGAIN!!!!!

What does it matter?????

The whole objective here is to land the airplane with the landing gear under
the plane, not up in the gear wells!!!!  It doesn't matter what caused the
problem, we are trying to learn from Don's error.  Again, he ain't the
first, won't be the last, but sure would be nice if we could all LEARN and
LISTEN instead of CRITICIZING!!!!

Now, I'll go back to being nice again.

Ronnie
