I think someone raises the runway surface....when you're going for the
greaser and inch or two can make a big difference.

Man, you ain't a-kidding. That's EXACTLY what a bad landing feels like to
me. It seems like the ground has inexplicably been raised up about 6 inches
higher than it should be.

With our landing gear on the Pathfinder completely hidden by the low wing,
I've often wondered if, perhaps, the struts had extended more than normal --
although I doubt that would make the landing any more firm.

I'm grasping at straws to explain the mysterious, I know!
