Not by any means in the same category I know, but it did bring to mind an incident I had many years ago. I had just completed a flight around the patch in a Cessna showing a family member the local area. It was his first flight in a light aircraft and he was somewhat excited. Right after we touched down he gave me a great slap on the back saying great flight well done! I guess he figured that with wheels on the ground the flight was over. Now I realize a 172 does not land at a great amount of knots, but I tell you we nearly ran off the bloody runway!
