It was a standing joke among those of us who flew regularly for business that we could tell the pilot’s background from the landing. If it was soft and gentle, we would look at each other and nod “Air Force”, and if it was a solid, with a little force, we would look at each other knowingly and say “Navy”. (It’s a joke guys, no offense intended to either service).
The smoothest landing I can recall, among a few thousand, was a female captain at the wheel. Touch down was barely noticeable.
