Stubborn Dutchman, SASS # 61363 Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 Boy Howdey, ... Give that man a cigar!! One hell of a landing! I've seen them hit harder with the wheels down.
Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 Yow! Talk about a high pucker factor. GREAT job by the crew. Looks and sounds expensive too...
Subdeacon Joe Posted November 1, 2011 Author Posted November 1, 2011 Yow! Talk about a high pucker factor. GREAT job by the crew. Looks and sounds expensive too... Not as expensive as an all out crash and fire though.
Dusty Balz, SASS#46599 Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 There's an old saying about bailing out or crashing an airplane, "give it back to the tax payers/insurance companies, as long as everyone walks out okay, it's a good day.
Red Logan #12252 Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 Every landing is. Just a controlled crash.
Charlie Harley, #14153 Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 What Dusty said! Give the crew a round of drinks and a ceegar for that one. And a clean pair of shorts.
Uno Mas SASS #80082 Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 Yow! Talk about a high pucker factor. GREAT job by the crew. Looks and sounds expensive too... Actually... the damage isn't usually too bad. Especially when the pilot greases it in. Belly skins and nacelles will have to be replaced, but that's about it. The Mickey-D planes were even designed to make recovery from a belly landing as easy as possible.
