Jerry, Good instructions sir, however I must theorize that you are of the Air Force persuasion, as in my Navy training I was trained similarly, but with a heavy spin towards: "Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing" mentality. Now my question, (purely in search of knowledge of course), does the Air-Force classify surface-impact of an ejected F-4 as a "landing"? Regards Mark B.
