> Also, your sports metaphor is bad. Pinnacle 3701 was a slam-dunk, the Gimli Glider was more an over-the-shoulder buzzer-beater from half court. 😃

Well, I’ve never flown the Pinnacle, but I’ve flown gliders, a Boeing N2S-3, and a Cessna Citation.

And I’d rather glide to a landing in the N2S-3 than in a Citation. 😃

And with my sports skills, even a slam dunk is tough for me.
