So here I am getting ready to flare, power out, so I come level about a foot
or two off the runway, hold a nose high attitude and just wait on the mains
to touch and I'm still waiting and it's sinking and I'm STILL WAITING and
it's still SINKING and I'm STILL waiting then I think OH **** I'M TO HIGH!
BAM! The bottom fell out and I SLAMMED that 172 into the runway. How I
didn't crash it I don't know. I must of been 4-6 feet off the runway, not
1-2. I promptly got my instructor in the plane and relearned how to
visualize night landings.
