Landing Streaks

I've noticed something about my landings over the last few years, and
wondered if you folks have had the same experience?

For example, right now I'm in a streak of near-perfection. I had
passengers on Wednesday that told me they had never landed so smoothly,
ever. Hell, *I* have never landed so smoothly, ever, as a passenger or a
pilot. I've just been rolling them on, in any wind condition.


Landing Streaks? I thought this was a scary-landings-underwear thread.

Nevermind.

Note to self: Turn off yoke mounted GPS upon exiting craft. Doh!

Ya, I was wondering where this thread was going when I saw the title.
First thought was wondering what the heck Jay was doing to leave streaks
on the runway. :-)

Easy now...not sure Jay could handle that...heck, I don't know if
anybody could :-)

Let's not forget the ANR headset (that lacks an auto power off feature).

Jay flew me over to Muscatine, IA last fall. I was in the front, Mary was in
the back. Jay thought he'd carry a little extra power for landing. It came
down to, how much more would he need with "3" Marys in the right seat?
Whatever he did worked, it was a nice landing.

The return trip had Mary as PIC and me in the back. That girl can flare an
airplane! g

Well, I'm not sure I'd call that one of my better landings.

That was my first experience with a very forward CG, and we *could* still
use the plane afterwards -- so I suppose it was okay!

There *were* some looks exchanged between you and Mary, after which you both
went out and ran your hands over the prop tips, and then I was bannished to
the back seat, but other than that I thought it was a great landing! g

Meal was good too.
