Flying sideways

Eshagee (means scary in Inupiaq). I was on this plane yesterday. We flew in sideways pretty much just until we touched down. The flight circled two or three times and then pilots must have decided to go for it. We came in from the ocean heading towards across the river and then they turned the engines up on full and started turning. It was a toe curling, breath holding experience. We flew in sideways until we were over the Era building and then straightened out in time to touch down. I'm really happy to be home but I really don't want to experience that landing again. Ever.
