ZZMike,
Or, in my case, “Any landing that you can be swept into a Millers beer can, reassembled in ER, retire as a fighter pilot and become an airshow performer!”
(…my landing at 300mph and 75 G`s. Navy Safety Center reviewed all records since WWII; no human being had lived above 45 G`s! Why? Aorta ruptures and head decapitates. Speculation of my case opined small brain and hard ass!…)
