"Well, t'was a perfect landing... slightly high, but at two feet it was perfect indeed".
Said by a pilot who will remain anonymous (no way I'm confessing to that one!) after stalling it in during basic training. Ouch!
Cheers,
Fred

As a Dutchman and a boeing jock I would like to compliment the audience to underwrite the high quality of our cloggie pilots (if I may generalise ..) If one looks in the Boeing books one will find that Boeing prefers you to make a heavy landing (ok not too heavy) over trying to make a greaser that ends up at the end of the runway. Don't have my books here but will look up the exact wording! Following this line of reasoning all other pilots are cr*p

Í like it Strafer, but the fact is mate, I am as English as they come, East London to be exact.
I may work for a great company, and you may have issues with some of my fellow aviators, but you have a PPL and know Jack **** by the sound of things. If you wanna drop me a line I will put you in your place, oh and if I ever clap eyes on you I'm gonna chin you very hard.

KLMuk Fokker 100 at AMS - given that particular aircraft's penchant for collapsing gear, I was a little worried!
![BTW, before anybody tries to flame me, that was said tongue in cheek.]

Scared as I am by threats on a anonymous bulletin board, I'll bow to your superior knowledge - you have after all spent a couple of months in the RHS of an F50. Mind you, it's funny how the pilots with much more experience than you took the thread in the spirit in which it was intended.
At least those shiny new epaulettes on your shoulder give you something to balance your chip on.
Muppet.
