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 once landed at an unlit airport at night without benefit of landing
light. I just set up a 500'/minute descent and let it find the
runway. Worked fine.
