Seems an odd title as any landing ends up on the ground eventually. It did look lower than normal coming over the road even for skiathos though.

You can see the point where he thinks 'Actually this is going wrong' and hauls back.

Yes, definitely a bit of a wobble there.

Still. Didn't hit anything....

Landing on Skiathos is great. You do a low sweep over the surrounding islands (great views) and as soon as the wheels hit the tarmac the brakes are on and the thrust reversed.

Taking off is even better! Wind the throttle open on the brakes and wheeeeeeee!

The island itself is lovely too.

I like how Alain was so composed and professional until his mate buzzed him. Interesting fact that he was a racing car a spitfire nut and the father of wild child Amanda!.

Sad to hear of his passing last month. frown

Blimey, that's some impressive people-skimming biggrin
Still on the list of places I'd love to visit, along with Sint Maarten
