They showed that on our local news last night with the caster saying almost hysterically, "what was this pilot even thinking trying to land", then aired the video. My immediate thought was, well that was not all that bad, I've seen way worse. Given his reaction I was expecting Armageddon. 8)

TBH Joe.. I don't think I've ever flown the FSX Triple7 so I've no idea what sort of aileron response it has. For sure.. the real one looks pretty darned nimble when need be :thumbsup:
