Safetypeee, of course it crossed my mind that it might all be an illusion. But how do you explain the fact that in a ten knot tailwind you can almost fly the plane down to the runway without any flare? The effect being a buttersmooth landing, of course. Don't do that with a headwind!
*disclaimer: the above is my experience, after more than 300 tailwind landings in just a few years in a very tailwind prone base. Use your own flare technique, but keep in mind what I wrote, and adapt from there on. In no way do I prescribe an non-standard landing technique!
