WASP Reunion - Sweetwater, Texas September 25, 2008. (Article attached)
An excerpt from Barry Schiff's article in the June "AOPA Pilot". Sure most of you have seen it. It's titled "The Perfect Landing".
"To me, the perfect landing is one during which no one aboard the airplane can feel the touchdown. There is no way of which I am aware that one can set out to make such a landing at any given time. Yes, we can try desperately to make silky-smooth landings, but the perfect landing, I believe, is an elusive goal, almost as frustrating as searching the Holy Grail. The perfect landing requires as much luck as it does skill, perhaps more so. "
"If you make enough landings, you are bound to make some perfect ones, but not very often. Just remember that the harder you work to achieve perfection the less likely you are to achieve it. Being relaxed and feeling at one with the airplane offers the best hope for success".
