I agree. In watching the landing, I could tell he was flying it on rather
than simply increasing the angle of attack into the touchdown. A real smooth
job.
I actually couldn't tell the instant he put it on the ground :-))

As someone posted earlier, the ground effect must be pretty intense when
the wing gets 6" off the runway.

I'm sorry to hear that John. I hope things get better for you. I've just had
a 4 level lumbar laminectomy myself.
I agree, it's no damn fun getting old is it? :-))))))))))))

True, but as my grandfather used to say ... it beats the alternative. :-)
