I hear some pilots do it faster than their shadow - although this is in
contradiction with Einstein's relativity. Probably a damn quantum
mechanics dissident lie.

Thanks. That explains a couple of things to me.
First, the nose gear (third wheel) on these Bo-ings is
back about where the KitFox tail wheel is. I'm
confused....
The main gear is so far back I have to aim out in
front of the shadow and let it catch up later. Jet
lag?
Then after my landing the mechanics always ask,
"Dis-a-dent?" Now I know they are quantum mechanics.
So I can say a "good landing" does have something to
do with Einstein's relativity.
To the FAA, that is my story and I am sticking with
it.

Cheap talk?
