Having my camera with me the day I landed on 4R at EWR in the Archer
nearly caused a bad day. On short final approaching the numbers, I
couldn't resist snapping a pic of that runway disappearing into the
perspective. I grabbed the camera off the right seat, flipped off the
lens cap and got a great shot through the prop:

the camera strap got tangled up in the yoke. I had approval to land
long, which was a good thing because after finally getting the strap
free, I realized I had ballooned up 100 feet or so. Fly the airplane!
The tower didn't say anything, and I set it down right where I had
originally wanted to, but it could have been bad, and/or embarrassing.


Nah. They probably didn't know what to expect... When do you think was the
last time they saw an Archer land?
