That sight picture at night it’s just different. It’s hard to get used to, but it’s worth a lot of practice. Even spending a night when it’s calm can be humbling. Easy to get low and slow. As a result, you come in a lot flatter and you really don’t flare correctly. Turn the lock up a bit on the...

That was tough. Lucky didn’t auger in. Really seems to try to Couple of times. Is this a yT personality??

Another piece of the puzzle falls into place

So if he shut them down. What’s the time grime to restart. How much altitude they losing while restart? If the firebottles deployed no restart possibility correct? Wondering what crew could if he partly succeeded?
