Thanks for insight.

I get very little "hard" IFR these days. I turned 60 this year, only get about 100 yrs a year and here in Orlando, it's usually CAVU or towering cumulobumpus, so you either get great WX or stay on ground.

Now, as an old f-rt, won't fly anything less an 400 and 1/2 and I want a nice long approach, at least OM inbound to get set up on final, get everything hanging, etc. None of the old getting turned in at the MM!

Never flew into Hobby (except on SWA), but used to love the River Approach to DCA in a 310. Wind your way down the Potomac, then a hard right when you could see the rabbit lights for 15 or 18, full flaps and flare NOW! Did it in the right seat in an Electra once, at 200 kts.... Loads of pucker fun.......

Ah, when we were young.....

You guys are funny!!!

I got a few friends who laugh at these conditions...Try catching a 3 wire in the same kinda soup...

I used to get away with telling them to take a lump of coal with them on their hops...That way we might be able to benefit from the pucker factor landings they had to perform...hehehe
