A Rough Landing
---------------

I was inspecting communications facilities in Alaska. Since I had
little experience flying in small planes, I was nervous when we
approached a landing strip in a snow-covered area. The pilot descended
to just a couple hundred feet, then gunned both engines, climbed, and
circled back. While my heart pounded, the passenger beside me seemed calm.

"I wonder why he didn't land," I said.

"He was checking to see if the landing strip was plowed," the man said.

As we made a second approach, I glanced out the window. "It looks plowed
to me," I commented.

"No," my seatmate said. "It hasn't been cleared for some time."

"How can you tell?"

"Because," the man informed me, "I'm the guy who drives the plow."
