If you think that that was scary, you should get in a real aircraft with me as the pilot. :twisted:

The question has to be asked..................Why were they trying to fly with such high winds...?

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

...they don't fly.....they float...

Much better with propellers and bendy-things!... :D ..!
