Well, that is a wonder. Not previously having the chance to really get the "full effect" of it, this past Friday's tour was especially neat. We did not have as many in tour group as in previous years, so the
instructor was able to really give us "hands on" tour. Well, to make a long story short...we did an
"emergency blow"...and that has got to be the coolest thing I have ever done (besides marrying "my
chief)...and we did it at a 40 degree angle. Instructor advised others who were not seated to grab
on to something and hold on...Oh, I forgot to mention...THE BIG GUY was at the controls...talk about
a ride...and he was like a kid with a new toy...and I would like to do it for real!
