Yes, folks.... it can be just like the simulator.

There is no loss of pride in being the first one to call uncle! I am not that thrilled about being one of the few people to have experienced and recovered from a full windshear warning and perform the recovery just like in the sim in real life.

The most amazing thing was the ASA flight behind us saying "we'll take a look."

They also got to experience it... but why??
I guess this goes to the "fly your own jet" conversation from a few days ago. But, if the aircraft in front of me goes around because of windshear, so do I -- before I get into it.
