MANY years ago I hopped on a GP Express B1900 flight from Omaha to Minneapolis. Absolutely beautiful day and on the B1900 you can observe incredible views, left right and forward, as there is no cockpit door.

Upon approach to MSP, I hear the chatter up front, got localizer, radio settings, approach conversation, runway visual, etc etc; but, when I looked up front, the runway was NOWHERE to be found . . . until I glanced out the right hand window.

It was absolutely graceful and a combination of arousal and concern when you are sliding at a 30-40 degree angle upon approach. Pretty much gunning it into the wind at the right balance to maintain forward momentum. The landing was equally graceful, left main, rudder, spoil lift, right main and nose.

1000's of flights and I still remain impressed with what this crew did. Put 99% of folks in my seat and they would be terrified. Absolute beauty.
