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!
 
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.

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.
 
CRW/HTS/DCA33/EYW, I land hard and firm. Like Gen. L wife tells me every other Tues.
 
FO made a rough landing one day.... Passenger on the way out says hes a flight instructor and he'd be happy to get with the FO one day to help him with his landings! lol
 
4000+ hrs. in the "Mighty Jetstream" I can probably count the number of greasers on two hands. Landing gear on that battle wagon was designed for carrier traps. So after a nice firm arrival you push the curtain aside and say "Thats the way you come aboard in the Corp. Welcome to Charleston". Of course there also is "Flare to land, Squat to pee".
 
You haven't really lived until you have had to use the fwd lav on the SAAB...I am 6'00" and it was designed with pygmies in mind...Also, it is always surprising to get a greaser out of that stiff-legged SOB!
