You did good! Showed it to my wife and daughter - they really enjoyed it to.

How about, "an almost frozen turkey"! Compliments to the pilot, if that was you, Jim, for maintaining composure and getting her down safely. I feel for you having to do another windshield and paint. Man, that thing even bent the center post. Did the pilot get his/her headset and glasses knocked off too? Hopefully not too many war wounds for the pilot???
