I'm a chicken. Every time we get in bumpy weather, I get scared. It was a very bumpy ride over to Helena on 8/26/09. We got there just fine. For me it was too many minutes of white knuckle gripping the seat belt.

It doesn't help that a couple of years ago we were heading to Helena, albeit in March when we flew into a scary icing encounter. That was when Lee declared an in air emergency and his speed indicator in the Skymaster failed completely. We both thought, "This is it!"

Since then, we haven't really flown much and every time it gets bumpy, I get sweaty.



So it's good to land!
