Speaking of landings. Yesterday morning a Cessna Skyhawk, flown by a female student pilot veered off our runway after landing pretty hard. It ended up on the grassy area with a bent prop, a damaged nosewheel and leaking fuel. Lucky for her she wasn't injured. She was up flying this morning on another aircraft- as a Flight Attendant!
I'm surrounded by grumpy old men!

As long as you are still in the cockpit, the wheels are attached and you are not on fire... that is a good landing to me

I remember once I stupidly let Mrs NightCat pick me up after one to many at the pub - and she was driving just like that! - everything was fine until there was a tiny little spider on the dashboard.
Scary stuff, we now have a spider patrol added to her pre flight check list if I'm ever drunk enough to be her passenger
