I’d just figure the earth was just rejecting the Shorts. 😀

Great pics as well 🙂

That reminds me…

In my first outfit we had a Shorts 360. The guys that flew that always used to touch down one wheel first even when the wing was straight down the runway. When I asked why the response was that the flat underside of the fuselage created a pocket of air that made the thing float for ever so by adding a bit of bank they could spill the air pocket out the side and touch down where they wanted. That’s my useless contribution for today!

at LAS they broadcast ATC on the MW in the viewing carpark, so you can hear the landing clearances on the car radio.

That’s very cool.

Any idea what the winds were at?

Whiskey Delta, straight across gusting to 28 knots – at LAS they broadcast ATC on the MW in the viewing carpark, so you can hear the landing clearances on the car radio.
