On one of the very first flights in my plane we were up doing short field
practice and I did one beautiful one and then my instructor was complacent
when I came in again and got too slow and really thumped in. We were
never in danger of injury, but the notion that I'd hurt my plane (fat
chance, it's way tougher than that!) was so distressing I could barely
fly. I'm glad I learned that lesson in a benign environment so I'll be
prepared to block out the trauma of airplane damage if it happens again!
