...with a really good thump! Good old BA! Landing fees include the repair of dents in the runway, do they?
Acme Guide to Piloting: To land the plane, continue downwards until you feel a hard thump. Brake and pray the noise wasn't from just hitting another aircraft.

Soldiers assigned to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Afghanistan Engineer District-South cleared an area of debris and chain-link fences to make the area suitable as a landing zone for helicopters in Helmand province. The district helicopter touched down on the new LZ April 10, 2013. Spc. Chris Petrossian directed the helicopter to the LZ using a neon signaling flag.
For a mid-November afternoon, the weather was very mild. I seized the opportunity to hit Lincoln Park in Chicago to capture some wildlife.
This seagull overshot the ledge just a little. Given that its feet are more made for water than branches, he didn't have a means of stopping his forward momentum upon landing. Hence, the wings are still out just in-case an emergency take-off was required.

"Mallard Landing I" by Patti Deters. A male Mallard duck (Anas platyrhynchos) is photographed at the exact moment of touchdown before the splash! His wings outstretched, tailfeathers touching the water, and orange feet just about to touch the water. Another drake swims and floats nearby, unimpressed. (If they only knew how tricky this was to capture!)
