So, what routes did you fly?

Any really hairy landings?

I flew reserves so I could get the 12 day on/12 day off schedule. I flew just about everything that departed StLouis and some that didn’t. I had some hairy moments...three attempts to land in Springfield MO during a thunderstorm before we went back to St Louis, one night was probably the wildest. Fortunately it was in one of our DC9’s which were freaking tanks and always made me more comfortable(strange sounding but true). I was in the air from Omaha to STL when the planes hit the WTC. That was more like a bad trip(drug kind) than anything else. I wasn’t scared at the time, that came later. I just spent about a week on the couch watching the news reports.
