Wearing my brand new headset, never had one before.

Finals, concentrating, aircraft stable.....what is that hissing sound???

Check instruments, my word the ASI appears to be reading 5kts under stall speed, lift one earphone off and discover the hissing is the stall warning horn.

Look back up and the runway is getting bigger panickingly faster. firewall throttle, yolk into spine, under carriage touches down, throttle to idle, remarkably short landing run.

Up to the tower to pay the landing fee, controller says "that was a bit of a steep landing", I say "it was a bit wasn't it".
