Change of topic here. When was your last one? How did it happen? What did the pax say? My favorite one was "this plane needs better shock absorbers" The CA was laughin his A$$ off at that one.

Nothing like the wait of shame afterward as the pax deplane. You can't look at anyone in the eye because they somehow know who it was. The good thing is that the shame only lasts until the last pax gets out!

Here is what happens when the Fleet Manager/RJ100 Chief Pilot lands at London City Airport (no fake!).

Airplane was grounded for a long time and it was considered to be written off. London City (EGLC/LCY) is known for its rather short runway (4920 feet/ 1500 meters) and steep approach path, 5.5

They actually hit the runway with the bottom of the fuselage. It must have sucked to sit in the back rows.
 
Every dash 8 landing is a hard one. That's the result of manly landing gear with about 0 strut travel. None of this sissy trailing link multiple joints bs.

I stopped caring, no walk of shame here. Don't like it, then fly an Rj with less room and lean backward to pee.
 
No landing is hard...they are all "professionally firm"...
 
The Dc8 is (was) a notorious hard landing airplane. You knew it was a real hard landing when all the oxygen masks came loose and were on the floor, your vision temporarily goes blurry and there is dust falling from the overhead for 3 minutes after the landing........LOL
 
Salina Kansas at night. I don't know if it was the extra wide runway or the fact I needed some of that Flower love. It was pretty damn bad!

Took the words right out of my mouth... Trailing link gear, heck gear with actual struts, are for wussies.

haha yea salina is one of those runways where you can afford to leave pavement behind on the landing roll as you go for that greaser.
