Hi Andy, just trying to keep the humor truck rolling with a riff on your STOL joke. The video link to the hard landing was uber cool. Used to be a huge aviation buff in my teens and young adulthood - it was indirectly how I got into photography in the first place. I bought a minolta srt second hand to shoot pictures of static displays and airshows to make drawings from, but found out I was a LOT better at photography than drawing!
