I did my first few hours to solo on a very tired Pa-38. This particular a/c had tread marks on the underside of the wing where it had landed so heavily that the tyres rubbed! I would love to claim responsibility for this 'arrival', but my finest moment was reshaping the tiedown on the tail when stalling it in from a few feet up and frantically trying to find more flare when there was none to be had!

Cheers
