Back to the grind
OK so I flew a Southwest flight on my Birthday from San Antonio to El Paso. Had to scrub the first flight. Number 1 engine shut down at 500 feet off the end of the runway due to a bird strike. I shut down and called an emergency and circled around. I made the approach and threw the rudder to the right to counteract the thrust of the number 2 motor and descended in. Got it on the first try and slowed to a stop at the end of the runway and then turned off and taxied back to the gate where I shut down the remaining motor. After we switched planes I tried it again and this time the flight was worry free. IFR conditions on the landing but no bad wind to contend with.
