[quote=Matt Chapman;583377]any landing you walk away from is a good one, right? Or is it...if you can taxi the plane to the hangar its a good one...who knows? Do I really want to hear abou this landing? <MAN, more 2 thats So, TUS. to leg one then and tye I as ElPaso way his on He?s word! small p quote]< landings![>
Any landing you can taxi back with less than full throttle is a good one. The picture was after the the landing so it couldn't have been that bad. Actually the landing wasn't that bad, the bounce, skip, and go around on the first try wasn't that hot.

You sure you weren't thinking of one of my landings at the STL Huckfest?

Okay, so I asked the pilot about the landing. Told him I had eyes everywhere...he hummed and hawed a bit...said, well...They said they were landing one way but it was a tail wind....tried it and thought better of it and came around and landed ino the wind....
So...not allowing go arounds in my plane....I FIRED HIM! He was bummed....he just got a new place for he and his wife and 5 kids... all under 5 years old. He's a little in debt, but he broke the rules. He begged me not to, but I let him go anyway. So DAN....well done! Thanks for the heads up on the bad landing! Dell and the wife and 5 ...wait...I think it's 6 kids now will be fine. Too bad I heard about this before he caught his flight home... I cancelled his ticket too. He's on his own to get home now. Think his wife is sick as well and he has her medicine.... but he'll be home in a week or so if he's lucky with a ride east. She can wait...
Again...thanks for keeping me posted about the progrss of my CAP.

I'm off to bed now to sleep like a baby!

Well I don't feel bad for 2 reasons. If a guy can't land a high performance tail dragger downwind then he needs to find new line of work. Also, I kind of look at it as doing him a favor, he won't have to fly a Cap any more.

Dan

I too am kidding of course.
