I came in on 16L in a Metro 23 and on the ILS we had 140KIAS - with a groundspeed of only 98kts at times.
Oh, and lots and lots of rain.

Didn't see any spotters out, wonder why? :D

Not saying they weren't there, Granny. Just that, due to the lack of light (ie, it was dark), Bill didn't see 'em... http://www.augk18.dsl.pipex.com/Smileys/laughinatu.gif

Are you flying Metro's now, Bill?

Yep, back on the POS Metros. :(

It's because I want to spend more time at home, looking after my aging father and I can't do that with the Air Atlanta job, nor the Qantas one.
So back with Pelair again ....

Welcome to the family Bill, I hear Pelair might be getting one of our Saabs!
You might end up on that one day.

Welcome back Bill.

Geez, 747 back to a flying pencil, thats a hell of a down grade.

Are you reaching for the throttles wondering where the other two have gone??

How many goats can you fit in a Metro??

Yeah it sucks and I hate Metros but it's a convenient job for staying at home.

FWIW I was in Pelair previously, in 94- 95, also flying Metro 2's.
