Breakfast flight to Nantucket 3-7-10

Post by 15A »

Here's a video of our trip to ACK Sunday morning taken by my friend Jeff, pilot in training.
I wonder why there were so many seals on the sand bars. Great whites were spotted there last summer!

That's why they're all on the beach!

Jeff did a good job landing the plane, he must have a good instructor. Fun video, keep them coming.

HEY !!! :evil:

How could Jeff have landed if he's sitting IN THE BACK...
My wife was co-pilot, Jeff was behind me with his son.

OH! I just re-read the original post, I stand corrected, he was taking the video, I thought he was flying. Sorry to upset you so much. Still a nice landing!

Richard,
I'm not upset! I don't get upset with this forum. It's one of the best :D
I was just 'jabbin''. I've been a 'legal' pilot since '71. Believe me, it's all in good fun!

And as far as the landings go,
I got lucky :wink:
