Thanks - home now. I was a little worried, because I had a bad dream about wind sheer - it worked out ok, though. I had to grab the stewerdess at one point, and plop her down in my lap. She was just about to slap me, when the plane took a dive - we dropped a few thousand feet, as I held her down.
After that it was ok.
I am sure the xsclann had a much nicer ride.
