This weekend I was flying with my Dad over Brockville it was a little windy, low clouds and low visability but we wanted to get some pics for my new blog (this one) so we were about 1 mile from the runway and I was snapping pics of anything that could be seen "golf courses, islands on the st lawrence, tim hortons literally ANYTHING" but a new engine had been placed in the plane that my dad wasn't used to it was a lot stronger so we realized we were coming in too high so I suggested we go around again and miss the runway but my dad said he could do it. At this point my legs were numb a was clenching my fists and closing my eyes we were dropping at to steep of an angle so when we hit the runway..............BAM the tires hit but it bounced because we were at such a steep angle basically we were making little arcs on the runway every time we touched it would bounce but eventually it straightened out and we stopped and got out. We went to the flying building so i could get a drink and a few pics and when my dad was talking to the owner the owner said "your lucky you made it because if you had come in any steeper you wouldn't have hit the runway" Anyways we made it and thats all that counts.
Above is a picture of the plane at Brockville Airport right after the event
