Flare for touchdown ended short of the active rwy at Lincoln, Nebraska. The PIC rptd windshear on final but wind conditions were rptd as being 340 degrees at 15 KTS, a headwind for this landing. No mechanical control pblm was reportedly experienced during this sequence and no thunderstorm activity was present. The rwy length for rwy 35R was 5500 feet, well within the capability of this acft. There were no rpts fm any other acft experiencing a similar difficulty.
