LOL.

It was so funny, my CFI had the worst luck with showing me landings. He is one of the best pilots I know and very good but whenever he said "can I demonstrate?", something or the other would happen and the smooth, precision touch down on the 1000 foot marker would turn into a slam 50 feet further.

Then I had this one CFI before the one above who one day covered up the instrument panel with a sectional to teach me how to fly looking out the windshield and not at the instruments. He told be to approach the runway and keep the plane off the ground with him controlling the throttle. BAMMMM! The chief flight instructor was in the runup area watching us and so we quickly split to the practice area.

I thoroughly enjoyed getting my ppl!
