Interesting


It sounds like any direction this article might take would talk the pilots just as a human-interest aspect, but focus on the turbulence and windshear. But it would be interesting, IMHO, to hear from the pilots of these flights in particular what they ran into (if anything) since it seems it was such a red-letter occasion.
