Title: Clint Eastwood Impersonation
Post by: Marty Barnes / TWVA-KLAX on May 22, 2017, 08:34:31 PM

My approach into KSTL tonight in the baby DC-9-15 came in a little hot.  Remembered the scene from the movie "Space Cowboys" where Clint Eastwood 'kept the nose' a little high on the space shuttle till the last minute .... and then dropped the nose.  That and what I call the 'Dumbo Ear' flaps on the 9 greased her in to take the top slot on the May Ozark Top Landing board.   :D  Somebody come knock me off the hill.   ;D

Looks like somebody took you up on that challenge, Marty. I won't mention any names, but his initials are Howard Lindsay.  ;)
