Is anyone else secretly glad...

I'd guess that AF1 was somewhere between 700 and 1000 agl -- how about it, Ron?
The sheer size of that 747 makes it difficult to judge hat.



No, the 182 stayed in the barn. There is a name for people who don't like the
weather they see and just HAVE to be somewhere on a particular day. The word is
"dead".

I ran into some crap going around Salt Lake, and again around Kansas City that
would have brought the 182 to his knees...and me with him. I worked too hard on
that tin whore to turn him into beer cans that easily.

And, thinking we'd outrun the bugger coming home, we almost went off the road on
I-40 in Flagstaff with the same sort of clag.

Could we have made it? I'd have given you 99% that we would have, juking around
this and that end of the stuff. It is that last 1% that is going to get you,
and that is to be studiously avoided.

The Bronco did just fine, thank you.
