Weird landing

Which reminds me, what's the longest word you can type using only your left hand?

I had a strange one on a puddle jumper from Paris to Rome. All the greetings/directions/etc. were given in French (IIRC) then English. We were coming in for the landing, the plane is descending rather smoothly and as soon as we hit (or nearly hit, it was hard to tell), the plane suddenly guns the throttle and we go right back up and start to circle around. The guy gets on the intercom, and we hear "(in french) blahbitty blah, blahbitybityblah blah blah, blah blah croissant blah blah blah" followed by "Uh, we're gonna try that again". The actual landing was actually quite smooth, but also quite unnerving.

I also had one coming into JFK from London that I would swear was piloted by Bo Duke. We hit HARD with the front tires and it felt like we bounced half way down the runway. I was still hung over from our last night in London, and nearly vomited.

I had one like that coming into Asheville (LONG time ago... ) we bounced 2 - 3 times... one of the wings nearly touched the ground ... and we all applauded after the pilot shut it down... the flight had been so rough, the landing seemed like a perfect 3 pt greaser.....

he walked through the cabin afterwards and told us it had been the roughest flight he'd flown in his 20 some yrs of PIC

I fly from Cape Cod to Martha's Vineyard,and Nantucket all the time. I have had some seriously hairy flights in these small 9 or so passenger planes. The fog on Nantucket can roll in without warning at times,and it makes landing real tough on the pilots.

I had one many years ago where we were in this pea soup fog for what seemed like forever. When we finally broke through it we seemed like we were about fifty feet above the runway but it was also about 100 yards to our left. The pilot quickly banked the plane over,and put it down without any trouble. He looks over at me in the co-pilot seat,and says "man I hate when they move them runways!!"

Funny guy!!!!!
