There's a language problem here that might be addressed on the show
"Are you smarter than a fifth grader." If it's a sea plane that
touches down, shouldn't it be called a watering? And if it's a crash
onto a water surface, is it a landing, or does one have to wait until
the airplane is on the bottom to say it's landed?

It's time for my meds: in this case it will be a Bombay Sapphire Gin
Martini, up. It's the only fitting end to a Monday.

as opposed to a good citation crash?

Yes. A good Citation crash would be one where everyone walked away, even
if the aircraft was totaled.

Like the one at Bader Field in Atlantic City.

But... If you can walk away, it was a 'good landing'. If you can fly the
plane again, it's a 'great landing', so I guess that wouldn't qualify as
a
crash g

But where does riding a boat to shore or swimming away fit into the
landing
quality evaluation?
