It did look pretty smooth though. Nothing about their handling was abrupt or careless. You just know they had to make everything nice because the whole world was watching.:icon_lol:
A proficient and experienced pilot can make smooth landings, and ones that are procedurally correct. You get lucky when you tie the two together. Just watch the blue angels...they carry a bit of speed so they can smoothly grease it on for the show.
I stopped caring about how smooth my landings were in real life some time ago. I try to put light aircraft down in a full stall in the right spot, which on small runways is close to the end. Greasers are for when people are watching and FSX.:mixedsmi:
