Someone once told me, "when flying, stay close to the middle of the air."
Gary ( a different Gary)
That means that Ken has to stay very close to the edges of the air Gary.

And that reminds me of the Navy pilot who was flying commercial next to me
as we slammed and bounced into Houston's Hobby. He said after we
straightened our backs, "Any landing you can walk away from is a good
landing." I suppose he might have been a carrier-based pilot. It was the
worst landing by far in millions of miles.
I hope to learn more about aircraft engines before Ken B.takes to the skies
again.

Ken,
That reminds me of a landing we made on the old Piedmont Airlines and before Jets. Two of us were going from Charleston, WV to St. Louis which had a landing at Cincinnati and two other places on the trip. The final approach was over the Interstate and it looked like you were going to hit the cars you were so low. The two of us were on opposite aisle seats and the lady was by the window and was scared the whole trip. When we landed the left wheel hit down first and then the other one and back up we went three times before he got both wheels on the ground at the same time. I looked over at the other fellow and said "Nice landing". The lady had a death grip on the seat arms and slowly turned to my fellow passenger with fear all over her face and said, "What airline has HE been flying on". She got off the plane and never got back on. I suspect she rode the Greyhound bus the rest of the way to St. Louis. Landing at Charleston was also a terrifying experience to a new person.
