The urge to take back control was strong, but the plane flew the Glide Slope and landed on the mark and then spoilers and reverse thrust with brakes to stop on the center line. That was amazing then and now it is just the norm. We will all be robots some day.<br />I have enjoyed reading your blog.

RVers with toads would love to have a large choice of vehicles that are less than 3500 pounds.<br />100 sq in X 35 PSI= 3500 pounds.
