Oh hell - sorry. I wasn't casting aspersions on your skill at
the ramp, I thought you were alluding to something I heard of as an
"airborne engagement". It's supposed to be a murderous thump. I don't
know quite enough about the geometry over the wire to make any other
conclusions.

I just didn't know what "caught it on the fly" meant.
