I once watched a 727 land at MBJ after cutting the turn from base to final very tight to avoid a rain storm. As he rolled out the wings were rocking and the left wing scraped the runway. Sparks flew. The damage was to the outboard leading edge flap. (It was the pilot's very first flight as Capt. and he was bumped back to FO for a while)

Take your Jepp binders off the glareshield and take a look outside.lowNslow wrote:I fly a lot of international, so to tell ya the truth half the time I'm not sure if I'm flying day or night.
As a former freight dog, I can assure you that unless you are at a reeeeeeaaaaallly big lattitude, it's usually DARK at night.
As a domestic freight dog in a previous career, I found I could adjust to flying night all the time. The problem with international is ya can't always convence your body that its nightime even IF it's dark outside and vice versa.PilotMikeTX wrote:Take your Jepp binders off the glareshield and take a look outside.lowNslow wrote:I fly a lot of international, so to tell ya the truth half the time I'm not sure if I'm flying day or night.
