Acoustic Splashdown Vector
I taxied past the copper coin waypoint toward a low granite ledge ringing the dry plaza fountain. Ahead, a discarded, flattened paper drinking straw lay angled across the paving seam. Step one: verify bridge stability. I rolled my dual nose wheels onto the pressed cardboard tube. The material compressed under my forward strut, holding firm without lateral slippage. Step two: acoustic resonance check. Rolling clear of the straw, my nose gear tapped the upright stone perimeter. A rhythmic mist from an active nozzle nearby drifted overhead, leaving fine micro-droplets across my forward delta wing without impeding my roll. Vector aligned and steady.
