Hello ERA Pilots!

Well, this week we are going to include everyone. Everyone that flies that is. So, Saturday June 7th. any aeroplane you are qualified to fly and any route you are qualified to fly will count towards the softest landing! SO, HAVE IT YOUR WAY!! There is a catch however...you MUST place "LANDING CONTEST" in the comments section of your PIREP or it will not count. No fuel or weight restrictions.

So here's your chance to fly your aircraft, on your favorite route(s), with pickles, mustard, ketchup and cheese...you know, your way! And perhaps earn a contest winners badge. Come on out and give it a try...ya got nothin to lose!!


Hope to see lot's of participation!

Thanks. It was the only decent one I had all weekend and it was on a scheduled flight with a full load.

Unfortunately, I left pieces of landing gear on the runway at AKI (Akiak). Gusty wind conditions and too slow of an approach. Attempting to grease one in with gusty winds doesn't always work--especially with the 206 which is always a pain to keep CG far enough forward. Unfortunately, Momma Lillian was on board and she's none too happy. Who gave her the boss' phone number?

Obviously, on that landing I didn't bother putting "Landing Contest" in the comments. I was hoping that I would get away with it...
