Default Micro Burst

At the Lumberton MS strip about two years ago, I
was flying a sport plane, Woketman kept saying
something to the effect of " lets see a perfect landing".
The wind was pretty gusty and I kept making better
and better attempts, till finally I came in, hit way
to much rudder, and slammed the plane on the
soft asphalt. Right after, Woketman ask.....
what was that?????, and I said, it must have
been a Micro Burst, He agreed (that it was a
thumb induced micro-burst), it was pretty funny.

I'm not afraid to admit pilot error! I have crashed a lot of nice airplanes, and more often that not, IT'S MY FAULT!
I never claim "interference", or wind shear, or anything like that...if I dorked it, I'll shout "pilot error!" So what?
I don't call it crashing...I call it FREEING UP A RECEIVER. [/B][/QUOTE]
