One more: A normal landing at Culebra PR.

A call from wife while waiting for my connection in San Juan. "Have your camera out for the landing."

"OK. Why?"

"You'll see."

The landing strip is nestled behind mountains. The glide path is through a notch in the mountains. The notch is NOT aligned with the runway.

Pilot does a falling leaf (a fighter tactic) to line up, and brings us in light as a feather. My palms still sweat when I look at my video.
