Probably enough on hi-key landing practice, but I think that fellow Lancair owner Carl Larue and I have a corner on the strangest hi-key. We both flew the U-2 for many years and it was, of course, a jet powered glider. As I recall, our target hi key was only 1000'. I've made two dead stick landings, one with a hi key of only 800' and had a hell of a time stopping on the runway. When I transferred to the SR-71 there was no such thing as a high key/dead stick approach as the controls froze below about 300 knots after the engines stopped windmilling. Pat Halloran.
