Gentle Readers,
On a recent flight, our descent was quite the experience. Violent turbulence ensued and it was the first time I ever questioned the feat of technology that is aviation and the years of experience at the front of the plane.
On our first approach, we were maybe 50 metres off the ground before the pilot put her into full throttle for a go-around. His bold faced lie to comfort us was that there were some geese on the runway.
We finally landed and the aircraft bounced to a stop before taxiing. Of course, all the passengers started to clap. I never got why people clap when a plane lands the way its supposed to. While a sigh of relief may be appropriate, the clap always bothers me.
Word on the street is that we're supposed to boo if the landing gear fail to deploy and jeer if the plane catches on fire.
