Very windy day. It was causing alot of turbulence, especially lower to the surface. Landing was very tricky. I almost went into the drink on my final attempt. I added some Top Gun dialog for fun at the end.

Music by Nirvana "Lake Of Fire". I do not own the rights to this song. Click to buy it if you want the song!
