Yup. I see many people doing something that's more like a bounce and go. They don't really land, they just happen to bounce off the runway while doing a low pass.
w00t! Gotta love it.
Another one I've seen that makes me nuts is expirienced pilots coming over the deck at high speed, full throttle and skim the ground and clam that's a touch-and-go. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing but it's not for me.
My opinion is it's bad...
Picture this...4* 40, full throttle, skim along the ground, 3 inch high damp grass, 2.25 inch high wheels with wheel pants equals rekitting of plane after nose over and cartwheel, all done by an "experienced" person. In the process takes out another persons airplane that was sitting at the edge of the pit fence waiting to taxi out.
Needless to say, experienced person is back on buddy box and not liking it.
