That is so true Charlie!  I gave a couple of student T-38 pilots out of Williams a ride out to their practice area 1985 in my rental C-172.  Let the first do a landing but had  to come on the controls w/him in the flare since he wasn't straightening the nose and was happy to touch down in a crab!  Not in my rental! 

 

Anyway after I pointed out his error he immediately said you never touch the T-38 rudder on final or bad things happen!  With some a/c operations (such as tail-dragger landings), there is still no quick substitute for practice and proficiency...total time matters not.
