You know, that comment about aircraft triggered something in what
little brain I have left. The Mooney M20E I got my commercial license
and a lot of my instrument time in had (and still has) - are you ready?
- RUBBER PUCKS for main gear suspension. But it uses four of them
stacked up. You can see a photo of the set up here:

heck of a lot easier to slow down, come in a bit hot and that Mooney
would float for what seemed to be forever; considering the strip I flew
out of was only 2460 feet long...

My F33A Beech Bonanza could land at 52mph (good for those slow
corners) and had a straight line speed of 170KTs (195.5mph) which is a
hell of a lot faster than any F500 or S2000 I've ever driven.
What's wrong with wings..as a matter of fact we can now buy those soon
