Airplane Stories #4: Bumpy Landing
As with many people I think, we've experienced landing twice. That's not where you take two flights. That's where the plane you are on comes in for a landing, hits the runway, bounces back into the air, and then touches down again! It's not just a bumpy landing, or a one wheel landing where the other back wheel touches down a moment later (though I've been on one of those too). We hit the runway, and literally jumped back up into the air and flew again before coming back down to the runway and landing. Fun, fun! Since you're right there near the ground still it's not a big scare. Though when the thought crosses your mind of is there going to be enough runway left now that some was used up on the first "landing", it can be a slightly nervous experience for a second.
