I flew with one of our chief flight instructors today as a check-ride for beginning cross country preparation. I did ok (he was able to walk afterwards and the plane can be used again). The landing was almost perfect and then I had to balloon just slightly but I recovered fine. All in all, it was fun.
One of my neighbors was a C-5 pilot in the USAF and is now a 777 commercial pilot. I now have a great deal of respect for what it took to be able to fly a giant airplane with heavy "stuff" in it anywhere in the world in pretty much any weather any time day or night.
