The departure for my 2nd honeymoon, in the Seychelles: Lis/Rome, and also the 1st filming on my new tv series, "Seven Seas"
My 1st time on a A321;
My 1st time on Alitalia: I was curious to see how the 'famous' Italian Pilots would perform.
A very late airplane on departure, and completely full. Nothing to be thrilled about...
But, on the return leg, Rome/Lis, almost 1 month later, I never saw death so near: I even grabbed my new wife's had and wispered to her, "It's now"...
On landing in Lisbon, sunshine, perfect weather conditions, no wind, the bastard flying (I cannot call him anything else), touched down too hard, the A321 bounced up, and came down nose down! I never thought the nose wheel would stand it! I've NEVER had, or have since sunch a bad landing!
So, there goes the 'fame' of the Italian Pilots...
