LASTLY, and only because “a WHUMP onto the markers,” is not a long way from “a WHUMP into the ground short of the runway
I think you'll find it is a long way from landing short of the runway as he was most likely talking about the 1000ft markers.......I may be wrong but I don't think he gets it in the zone most of the time and then cocks it up by 1000ft! The way I read it all of his landings are within the landing zone but he gets the occasional whump ..... Who hasn't?
