Thanks Fred, I knew this on landing and was wondering if anyone at all would see this. You were the only one. The tail wind naturally caused a lower VREF speed.

I have to get back in mine as I’ve been spending a lot of time in the 737 and 747. Then the 777. But it’s always nice to have a nice easy flight in the beautiful V-tail.

Thanks Tim, it’s amazing in the sim but even more amazing when you work this for a living and sit in the jump seat and see it in action. I never got tired of it.
