It will be interesting to see if both the pilots of this jet were in their mid-60s. I doubt it though.

Mr. Boeing's maintenance manual for the 767 insists that the only criteria that can be used to determine a hard landing, is the pilot's report of a hard landing.

More importantly, did everyone walk away? We are assured that any landing from which one can walk away, is a good landing. Is this not so?

A great landing is one in which you can reuse the airplane…this was not a great landing.

But a good one, because everyone walked away.

I once watched a bozo grind a brand new set of tires and brakes to nothing, and ultimately destroy both wheel assemblies on a Twin Otter, because he said he had to get to the outhouse.

Perhaps these guys had a bee in the cockpit. Nobody wants to re-use an airplane if it has bees.

Remember, great is the evil red-headed step-child enemy of marginally good. Walking away is safer than running, especially with scissors. Re-use is economics, trying to squeeze just one more trip out of the old jalopy.
