I don’t see a way to search for specific aircraft/airlines?

Tom, both the standard Search and the Advanced Search give those options, combined if you will. These options either show in the menu across the top or under the drop-down button at upper right (depending on browser window size). Just start typing into a search box and a choice of available data appears.

I’m away from home and those aren’t displaying on my iPad. I’ll check it when I’m home again.

I remember watching Pacific's M202/M404's coming into SMX and although the airport had a more than sufficient runway, they all came in like they were about to overshoot the runway! Nothing like a straight wing and full flaps to make a pilot really have to convince a plane it's time to put 'er on the ground.
Regards,
Phil

Phil, yes, I can imagine! I'm positively jealous. :-)
Tom, I'll tip the webmaster about what you experience, I know him well.

That is a normal final for a Martin twin. Its just how they were designed. I flew on Southern's 404s many times and were a bit edgy on landing. I do not recall them having hard or very bumpy landings, no sense of a hard set down, more like a heavy bump and that was that. The ones I was on rarely used reverse thrust, for some reason or another. Just braked and then turned off.
