Breathtaking When I worked at Oceania at one point we were within a football field of a run way and at lunch watched these planes do practice landings. Got to practice somewhere to go on to landing on the Carriers in a pitching sea.
Great fun watching the pilots New Bees land and zoom back up to try it again. These guys even the new ones had it down pat, Hell of a show for us on lunch break.
What ever happend in Norfork had to be some kind of mechanical problem, My heat goes out to the two men in the plane that had the sense to off load fuel and bail out.
