Garry it's like landing gear up! There's those that's done it and those
that are going to do it ! Sooner or later some mysterious gust of wind
will instill a bounce or some unexpected happening and you will get
caught out.
I can assure you the ones I have done were not by intent.
Probably now you have said how difficult it is to do one you may have
one destined for you, watch out !

With no disrespect to anyone, it baffles me as to how many Europa pilots
continue to land nosewheel first (wheelbarrow). The first thing you
learn
in basic flight landing training is to hold the nosewheel off for as
long as
you can, until the elevator looses the power to hold it up. The Europa
trigear is so easy and forgiving it practically lands itself. In 45
years
of flying I've never touched down the nosewheel first. Can someone
explain
to me how this keeps happening? Again, I mean no disrespect to
anyone....I'm just wondering if there's something I'm overlooking here.
