My instructor had to tell all the other instructors that came out on Saturday how good my first landing was on Friday. It must be an instructor thing.

It was like this - "Hey XXX, this is YYY - he landed on his X flight and it was perfect".

So I'm guessing instructors like to brag about landings of students. I won't mention the second landing, or when he was showing me how to really slow down in a strong headwind and the wind stopped for a sec and the plane stalled at about 4 feet. We've both spent time in full scale planes and both of us said at the exact same time "Wind died, plane stalled". Kinda funny actually.
