Windy, I really liked to watch how the clouds move at different levels. Lou

Me too, when I was in Singapore many years ago you could guarantee rain at 3pm every day and boy did it rain for 15minutes or so and then was gone.

Lou, although a newbee here I've enjoyed reading through your stories, one of which, the runaway film spool, reminded me of a similar incident that happened to me as a passenger.

While in the Far East making a corporate video I was using a small but heavy 1/4 inch reel to reel tape recorder which I always stowed in the overhead. On a heavy landing at Hong Kongs old Kia Tak the overhead opened, out flew the recorder just missing somebodys head. It crashed to the floor, sprung open and one of the spools shot forward unreeling as it went up the aisle and under some seats. I spent some time on my hands and knees crawling between legs and feet and through floor detritus of a long haul flight.

A character building experience but always did enjoy landings in Kia Tak. Often sim it now with a Kia Tak add on and a CS 707. Brings a big smile to my face.

Thanks Lou, keep em coming.
