That panel really was VERY pretty. Looks useful too.
Anyhow, I managed to belly land a DeHavilland DHC8-Q200 down in Iraq in uphill :P Was in a very nice glide towards the ground when my altimeter
suddenly showed that I was descending MUCH faster than my VS indicated. I looked quickly outside and saw the hill forming in front of me. A sudden
rise of the nose saved me from a disaster, and the decrease in speed made me land safely. We slided on the ground somewhere around 50-100ft before
stopping.
