A sloppy landing would have been my fault, and I owe it to the plane to do better, let alone my own sense of pride!
Do you find the landing is the part that is most satisfying in general from a piloting point of view? I get a lot of satisfaction out of a greaser. I know there are those that say don't grease it on and I wouldn't if circumstances dictate that I shouldn't; but there's no doubting the good feeling when you can hear the swish of the grass against the wheels before they actually touch, or the passenger comment of 'have we landed?'
