Landing through Hanna in Philly. Dave, who runs the best pilot's blog around, gives you the cockpit view and countdown:"20,000 feet and descending... Holy Moly! We are literally immersed in rainfall. The forward windshields are covered with a fast moving stream of water. The total air temperature (think outside air frame temperature) is too warm for the de-ice system... Forward shields OFF. Engine igniters are switched ON manually for flame out protection. Our radar shows a small, but intense cell over the next virtual waypoint a few miles ahead.... Flight Level 390: Hanna
