Hard Landings
PIK/LON late night, I looked out the window on approach and we appeared to be very high. Suddenly dropped pretty fast, hit runway with a couple of thumps, then everything went into reverse with a roar. Aircraft shaking like crazy, stuff going clatter in the galleys. Left runway last exit almost on two wheels. SILENCE FROM THE F/D, but the No.1 opened up the F/D door and shouted "Let's have a big hand for that man!" As you may imagine there was a huge cheer form the cabin. A bit of a "red necker" for the driver, who was our Chief Pilot. LUCKILY for the reputation of the carrier, there was only crew on board that night!
