A beautiful machine to land

You refer to the -100, I presume ?

I can't recall a dreadful landing on the -100 .. but can only recall one really good one on the -200 ..

What I could never work out was how Stan B (AN), with whom I flew my consolidation block, managed to land the -200 .. each, and every, approach was drilled down to the aiming point and then, just as my eyeballs were popping out of their sockets .. he would do something (?) and the aircraft just ran along the runway.

.. if only I could have worked out what it was that he did .. but it eluded me totally.
