In my Air Force days, there was a blunt saying that, any landing you walked away from, was a good landing. Thankfully, all are safe and sound.
I remember one flight out of Prestwick on a C130 Hercules when we ran into a flock of seagulls on takeoff. We lost an engine and another was giving concern. We declared an emergency and came bback pronto. Needless to say that we debriefed later over a few beers.
