There are partially good landings, those you walk away from and then there are good ones, those that allow you to take off again.

The closest I've ever been was one where the pilots decided to hide in the cockpit afterward and let the flight attendents listen to comments about having a fine carrier landing: fast and very hard.

I did one of those partiall ones when I totaled my Saraqtoga.

I heard this one story and I don't know if it was an urban legend or not, but a pilot had made a really hard landing and during departation of the plane no one said a word to him about it until and 80’sh year old woman asked if they were they shot down on the way in :-)

I was on a really hard one back in 1988 or and I wont blame it on the pilot it was just one of those things. We were coming into Denver and in that last 50’ or so a huge gust of wind picked the airplane up and then the bottom dropped out. I was like %^$## here it comes! I was seated over the center wing box area and as hard as we hit (KWHAM!!) I knew there was bound to be a few fuel leaks to come out of that later, and maybe some broken fasteners to be found during HMV open up.
