RE: I learned about flying from that!
None of my own, but when my dad was taking lessons in the late 70's he could land better than taking off. The main problem was keeping is straight on the runway. His instructor flew them down to Madison and asked the tower if they could use the main runway for some "high speed taxiing". Wasn't too busy, so the tower said sure. The ran up and down the main runway at high speed. By the end of a few passes, my dad could keep is straight no problem.
