  I was flying into a remote part of Mexico in a tiny plane on a very windy day and the pilot made 3 attempts at landing, each time wheels touching the fucked up runway while we slid sideways, almost tipping over, and each time he lifted back up to circle around and try again. Scary stuff for sure. I definitely felt like I was going to die.

  • I had that same experience trying to land a Santa Barbara. Intense fog, 3 attempts, finally landed...cabin applause.instrmntl
  • Oh yes, SB. That's where I grew up. I have taken those small planes there so many times.monospaced
