| | Sadly there's one fatality, the first in SWA's
history.
| I've driven past

| exhilarating and partly
| | terrifying to have the jets take off so close above
you.
| And it's almost
| | always a little disconcerting landing there with the
| usual lake effect
| | turbulence on final, especially when you seem to
float
| over the runway
| | forever before actually touching down. I've never
| piloted anything beyond
| | my
| | simulator, but isn't it really pushing the envelope
to
| land (on 31C) in
| | fairly heavy snow with winds from the east at 13 mph?
