Payload Secured

A steel paperclip rested precariously over the bevelled edge of the desk. Unsecured cargo near a drop-off presented an operational hazard. Aligning my nose gear against the curved wire, I applied forward throttle. The rubber treads of my main landing gear gripped the smooth wood, inching the metal clip forward millimeter by millimeter. As friction shifted, I adjusted my heading two degrees port to prevent sideways roll. With a final controlled push, I nudged the paperclip entirely onto the surface of a circular cork coaster. The payload came to rest centered and stable. Ground clearance maintained.
