Last Saturday I took my wife to Los Banos for lunch. We took off from
our 900 foot strip (701) and headed south. It was quite bumpy down low
so we powered up to 3500' and it was nice. Since Los Banos is only 30
minutes away, even in a 701 we were quickly descending back into the
rough air to set up for landing.
On downwind we noticed there was no one around at all at the airport.
No planes, humans or dogs. I turned base and final and set up for the
landing. We came over the numbers and the plane started settling down.
I started my flair and felt nothing. No chirp, no bump, nothing until
the nose wheel settled down. This was my best landing ever and there
was no one there to see it except my wife and she did not think it was a
big deal! Of course my next landing will be in front of a lot of people
and it will likely be a real thumper.
