You have peaked my curiosity.  What happened and what did you hear from your 
memory that helped?
I was touched the other day by a story my airplane student told me.  I have 
been trying to convince him that a full stall landing is the way to go.  He 
can't bring himself to believe that the airplane shouldn't be driven onto the 
runway (usually crooked).  At any rate, he was aboard a 747-400 on an 
international flight.  The Captain invited him into the cockpit when they 
were on the ground.  At one point my student asked the Captain if he held the 
747 off until it stalled onto the runway.  The Captain explained the 
difference in landing techniques between a 747 and a Cessna 150.  My student 
said "my instructor always tells me to hold it off."  The 747 Captain told 
him it had been a lot of years since he first soloed but to this day he could 
still hear his instructor saying "hold it off, hold it off" every time he 
landed.
