to the windshield in an attempt to improve his view.

EVANS reaches down and throws a switch. The windshield

wipers go on. We can now see very clearly the path of lightsthe plane is to follow. WHIP looks to EVANS, smiles withstoned eyes.

WHIP:

Thanks junior.

EVANS looks out at the rain...

EVANS:

Looks pretty ugly, sir.

WHIP:

A little rain never hurt anybody.

We’re not made of sugar. What’s

EVANS:

Wind’s gusting to 29. 30 is our

crosswind max.
