8. I recall, years ago, a friend telling me how he
flew a Cessna 310 (twin engine) into a small town in Wyoming in basically zero visibility and strong cross-winds. It involved opening the window to look out and crabbing almost completely sideways to get to the ground -- which he couldn't see until he was almost on top of it. He thought it was kinda fun -- almost as much fun as buzzing white tailed deer in the middle of the night (all you can see are their rear ends . . .). He's been a commercial pilot for the last 20 years and, I suspect, a damn good one. I tend to trust the folks in the front; they don't want to go down any more than I do -- and they can see it coming!
