Pre-takeoff checklist
WTF was that guy thinking the 15th time he couldnt keep the plane on the ground as it bounced.

This is the hard landing that I want to know more about.

Actually more of a semi controlled crash
That is painful to watch. No less than EIGHT bounces before the nose gear collapses. How one can become SO fixated on landing NOW is beyond me. Go around!

At the end of the festival this aircraft was the last to leave and have no control aerial to warn was very, very close to be a Dog Strike it had 4 dogs walking on the runway during take-off..."
My problem with that is on some training a/c such as the 152 in the need for a go around with full flaps its very easy to get behind the power curve or have a nearly nil rate of climb.
I'm talking about as you touch down and start to roll out. You also have the option of carrying a little more speed on final that will be gone the moment you dump the power because of the drag.
The flaps still do things after your wheels touch down and your wings are still generating lift. The quicker you lose some speed the better.
So I finally got some pics of the damage...not amazingly horrible but I cant say Ive done this to a plane...yet
probably amazingly expensive to fix.
