Whenever I do a flat spin on approach, I just cover my hands and

right moment, hey... 3 point landing!

I'm looking forward to seeing him perform on the airshow circuit.

That is quite a show they do. Great place for a Pyro Maniac!
Not quite sure how a paper airplane being flown remotely by a simulator
jockey would fare though. Gets pretty hot in there for paper airplanes.

I meant to say "cover my eyes and scream," not "cover my hands," so, sorry
if I was unclear. I'm sure it makes all the difference.

You all may not like my patented "eyes-covered screaming flat-spin
three-point landing" but I assure you it would be a show-stopper. The Blue
Angels don't even do it.

Man, that would be cool, using a modified C152.
Do a 180 over the numbers, with lots of rudder
and convert the A/C into an effective Canard,
and land backwards.
That sounds like a super idea!
Then go to throttle as a reverse thruster.
Let's do it,...you first.

Too easy unless it's on an aircraft carrier, but that's also too easy
because the arresting cables catch the nosewheel. Of course, if you time it
right, when the nose gear rips off it can get yanked through the prop. But
since I don't have permission to land on carriers and you apparently have, I
guess you'll get a wikipedia page before I do.

Well sims are fun, I was running low on fuel
near Hawaii heading North, in an SR-71.
At 80,000 feet, I set KIAS to 649 with descent,
((that's not secret anymore, right)).

I practically glided into Alaska, (Elwsworth?) on
fumes.

PS: Dear Officer, the reason I was speeding was to
get to the gas station before I ran out of gas.
(works every time)....
