Bad Landing
 
Been at chautauqua for almost a year, never had any real problems landing. Last week, VFR, light to no winds at IND, some reason was too late on the flare and bam, I thought I lost wings. One passenger made a comment when deplaning. Feeling pretty bad about this, anyone had the same thing happen? I know no one will fly perfect all the time, but man, that was terrible.

My one bad Landing while on the JungleJet, I simply forgot to flare (yeah, it was pretty raunchy!). It happens to even the best of us, buddy ;)

My callout upon completion of a firm touchdown:
"Found the runway!"
or
"That stupid runway got in the way of my descent"

Yes, but none of the boxes made any comments about it. :D

Who hasn't had it happen?

And mostly, it's not when things are really wild and blustery. Those times, it seems you make the best landings--it's when you least expect it...

I usually say, "Take that Philly!" (since me hating that airport + landing on 26 = not a greaser):)
