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"?
