By that standard, it was good landing but scary as hell for her father and the rest of us. Looking at the plane, she was extremely lucky to walk away with only minor injuries. I'm no fan of 172's but it was a shame the plane was totalled. One of my favorite planes is my friends 180 tail dragger. He has tundra tires on it and it really is a sharp looking plane.
