I haven't made a "good one" yet. I've got a few years to go before I retire and I hope they're all outstanding! (knock on wood)

Two simple rules to remember: keep the blue side up, and airspeed is life! Fly safe!

Well, FWIW............I once landed a KC-135.....with a stiff West Texas crosswind..........basically rudder-and-elevator only. Zip for ailerons. Snapped cable (it was discovered....after I "red-X'd" the sumbitch in postflight; this was WELL before the fly-by-wire era). Literally no ailerons in the landing phase.

Greased that sucker on, too. :) Crew applauded.

I went home and had several VERY stiff drinks.
