I remember bouncing like a basket ball upon landing at my first airport on my first cross-country solo in 1995 at HFD CT.
I was doing a touch and go on top of it all. Got the plane down flat on the floor just in the niche of time and picked my speed back up and got that bad boy back in the air where it belonged. I still get cold feet just thinking about it. Nowadays I'd just come to a full stop. What can I say when your young your a bit more........well dopey. Ever since then I've been an A-1 landing pilot. So don't sweat it maybe your a better pilot for it. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
