NO WAY!!!
1st, you have photographic evidence,
2nd, there were witnesses.
Its been my experience, that the only really smooth grease jobs are totally undocumented, with not another soul within 50 miles.
Normally, when someone has a camera, or there are spectators, the resulting landing is something that I'm lucky to walk away from.
Seriously, looks good. And the photographer did a very nice job, B+

Happy New Year to all Canardians.
Nice landing !
And nice trip. Is that Lake Mead / Horn Cape / Colorado River volcanos area ? I flew a C21O 25 years ago there around. Wonderfull recollection....
Now changing original fuel valve to the Andair one. Works great and gently.
Hello Waiter, Are your modifications close to be finished ?

Nice landing Easyrider . Good looking ship. pictures look really good. What area of town are you in? I'm in Vegas. If your up this way anytime let me know maybe you can stop by and see my project. right now it closely resembles an N.T.S.B. accident sight in my garage :lol: more like someone flew a LongEz into a shed :lol: anyway we've all been there. Congrads, keep taking pictures.

The landing was at Petaluma on my way back from Shelter Cove where I had a fresh abalone lunch, we have a hard life here in California. I often wonder how the rest of the world survives. Easyrider

LOL. IMO, that last foot prior to touchdown separated the men from the boys. I ended up flying VIPs in the Navy for 5 years for greasing the landings. Tis how most folks grade a flight, smooth air and a smoother landing.
