at the moment the pilot is phushing the stick foreward, you get a feeling of waitlesnes [and it IS!!! a scary moment]

It always amazes me how people sitting down back can says we were flying too fast or too slow, or the pilots did this or that wrong. There is no way you can tell from down the back.

One of the most stimulating landings, is the ATR flying into Samui over the beach. Love that fast sinking feeling.
