Time sure does pass bluecode, I retired from flying in 2005 and have never had a moments regret that I retired.
I was seventy the year I finally decided enough was enough and spent my last summer flying in the air show circuit based in Holland, just thinking of pulling high plus and negative G's now makes me happy I am out of it.
I read this whole thread and am surprised I had the initiative and patience to keep trying to explain such simple basic issues as how to flare and land.....but it looks like some people actually made the effort to read and understand what I was trying to get across.
P.S.....
I am still healthy enough to go back to flying aerobatics if I wanted to.
