ICER02 Returns 07.06.16

Post by Dannnn » Tue Jun 07, 2016 10:15 pm

Was in Swindon all day today so thought I would call in on the way home, but wasn't expecting to catch it in the air. Did a high overshoot after declaring a IFE with one engine out and then lined up for 27.

Decided to go heads on due to poor conditions and think it paid off :)
