The feeling once again grabs the pit of our stomach and we wonder who talked us into this ride Finall h ' th y we are overung over e deck When the wheels touch down we breathe a sigh of relief and realize it wasn tso bad after all ' I know all the families of the air d rt ' ' ' ' ' epa ment probably treat theur men s occupatuon a but more routunely. But to the surface types, that ride is exciting.
