Bloody good pilot!

Oh, that.

Yeah, they have a special foam that they can spray all over the runway now. Its ignition temperature is a few hundred degrees or something and it's sticky, so it hugely lessens the friction between metal and tarmac on touchdown. Wheels-up landings are still tense, but they're not the five-alarm everyone's-going-to-die emergency they used to be.

I know an airline which uses planes over 18 years old, everyday, for routes over 10,000km. No way I would travel with them. Glad to hear your Polish friends are ok.
