While monitoring traffic at KAPA, we overheard a Skyhawk pilot having a difficult day. Having gone around on his first attempt, he ended up safely on the ground on his second — if a bit long and far from gracefully.
Tower:
“Skyhawk 123, you O.K. there?”
Skyhawk 123:
“Yeah. We took a bounce there. [pause] I hope it didn’t look as bad as it felt.”
Tower:
“It did.”
