Reminds me of landing at Arkaroola in northern South Oz. I was sitting directly behind the pilot of our 7-seater Cessna and just as we were about to touch down we were hit by a gust of wind from behind and increased our airspeed by about 40 knots. The pilot said "Oh s...!" (never something you want to hear from the pilot!): we hit the deck, bounced, cleared the bushes at the end of the runway by a metre or so- and then went to another runway about 40km south, landed and waited in 45°C heat for an hour or so for a bus to collect us. Fun trip. ;)

I plead guilty to the Slovenia / Slovakia error if you recall. It's not due entirely to cultural insensitivity. Ex SO #2 (Croatian 75% Czech 25%) would regularly go on anti Slovenian tirades. "They're so Germanized!" This was usually an introduction to a lengthy and sometimes loud complaint about my excessively germanic tendencies.... ;)
