Default 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.

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)
