Stalls??

Every flight in a light GA single should end in a full stall...right
as the wheels roll on to the runway...Unless folks know how to
handle the plane in a stall, they will not learn to land correctly
(I know this will start the flames!)-

That's a sweet ending, though -- flames or not -- especially when the
stall horn blows and the wheels just start turning.

Yeah baby!

Curious... in the Cessnas and Pipers that I fly the stall horn blows at
least 5 kts before the stall. So, when the stall horn is blowing and the
wheels touch down, the plane is still flying.

We had a jump pilot who (in a 206, with jump door) held a pretty
constant beep-beep-beep from rotation to about 500' on every
takeoff...no buffet, no stall. Sometimes we'd talk him (it didn't
take much) into holding it just off the grass down the runway and then
swoop the takeoff. Sigh.

My first time in a GA aircraft was my first jump...surrounded by
crazies who were going on up to jump out higher. Between the noise &
fear of heights when the door popped open its amazing I jumped again
that day.
