    Ok Oscar, everyone else has been exceedingly polite. I guess that leaves me back here in the Peanut Gallery: "Heck, you could take that show on the road! That's good entertainment!" Now, you should know that I'm a smart-aleck and I'm just giving you a hard time, but when I heard you rev yer engine a couple of times and bounce on down the runway, I couldn't help but think about the air show that (I think) Duane Cole did: he'd dress up as an old lady taking her first flight lesson and he'd bounce around and slip the plane along the runway at 20' altitude and make the plane hop and jump and do aileron rolls around the air field while the announcer played it all up, "OH! There she goes! Someone better get in that plane before she hurts herself. OH MY! Goodness! WHOA, NELLY!" etc. etc. "The pond, Oscar! Head for the pond!" ;-) oh for heavens sakes, do not archive -- Dan Yocum Fermilab 630.840.6509 yocum@fnal.gov, http://fermigrid.fnal.gov Fermilab. Just zeros and ones.

    Dan; thanks for your comments. First I'll state the facts, then the disclaimer. The facts are that I did just about everything wrong that could be done wrong on that landing. Took my focus out of the cockpit and put it on the observers on the ground since I knew they had a camera going. Started my roundout too high, then when the airplane started to balloon, I punched in power but then changed my mind and told myself to pull the power, pull back the stick, and hold it back so then it came down hard and bounced. Forgot to hold upwind aileron and let the wing start lifting. The disclaimer is that this was one of my first solo landings in the airplane, shortly after I got signed off in it. Also, it was breezy and hot that afternoon. Today I am a far better Piet pilot and I make superb landings every time now. And if you'll buy that, I have a healthcare plan I'd like to sell you...

    Wow Oscar! That looks like a landing I made.......... today! Sometimes ya get beautiful ones, sometimes ya get ugly ones. Oh well. Seriously though what really makes you get better at landing is making a landing like that and then straightening it out and calming it down. That's where you really feel out the airplane and know you have control of it. Don Emch NX899DE Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=272737#272737

    I'd be willing to bet that we've all made "memorable" landings. I say post 'em if you got 'em. Critiques are welcomed. The benefits will be twofold, we might learn something and we'll all feel better knowing that not all landings are greasers.

    You're right about that one Greg-- we've all made memorable landings but that one you posted didn't look bad at all---just a skip and you were down. The chances of a perfect greaser landing are inversely proportional to the amount of people watching at any given time. Einstein came up with that theory. Mike C. do not archive

    THAT's a bad landing?!

    Wow, now this is fast action. On Wednesday I asked the list if anyone had a splash page for showing with a Piet at fly-ins. A day and a half later the attached shows up from Barry Davis. Thanks Barry - it'll go over great at the Jackson Co. Fly-In tomorrow! Jeff -- Jeff Boatright "Now let's think about this..."
