REFLECTOR: Runway Rash

[Scott Derrick]

That must have been some landing!  Was there a crowd to nearby to signal 
their appreciation? :-)

I know I've come close. I'm so used to landing in a slip from flying 
conventional airplanes. When we get some hellacious gusting crosswinds 
on our "one runway" airport, my instinct says slip, while my mind says 
crab-and-jab.  I've been flying a T210 pretty regularly while taking 
forever to do my engine upgrade.  I think I've forgotten how to fly a 
Velocity! :-)
