 Andrew, 
 
 Well, maybe if I had been flying with you yesterday I wouldn't have 
 felt so bad.  :-) Given the wind we had the day you and I went up that 
 landing wasn't something that would make me think less of you.  In 
 fact I flew with another pilot from Mac Dan a few months back and we 
 were landing on Rwy 4 with a very gusty wind.  His landing was similar 
 to the one you had in Linden, but I know he is a very good pilot so I 
 didn't think anything about it.  I would fly with him again as quickly 
 as I would fly with you. 
 
That's true.  It was something like 2G4 that day at Linden, right?  A real 
howler. 
 
[Okay, maybe a little more than that.] 
 
BTW, here's an interesting point: When you set down, how far were you from 
where the wake turbulance was still twirling?  1000'?  10'?  I'd not worry 
too much about getting down *now* in that scenario; think of it as a 
short-field landing.
