When it came time for landings, my instructor showed me several times, but I don't ever remember him telling me to "FLAIR" the plane just before touchdown. After tearing the front gear out, then he reminds me to apply a little elevator.[:@]

Has this happened to anyone else?
Instructor not telling me to flair? No.

Me FORGETTING to flair and ripping gear out? Yep.
