rickjump1 0 #3 December 4, 2005 Pretty smooth. Hopefully just a little sheet metal work and a couple of antennas. Crew really had it together.Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riddler 0 #4 December 4, 2005 Wouldn't the props be bent as well? Probably engine work required too? But nice landing - from a distance you might not even know the wheels are up.Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RhondaLea 4 #5 December 4, 2005 I am so impressed. I've seen people with landing gear land a lot worse than that. rlIf you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from. Gullah Proverb Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like they performed a tricky maneuver of touching down without power and maybe bumping the starter to keep the props clear, requiring perfect timing. Big difference in expence if the props were not turning because the engines were shut down even if they touched.

Lindercles 0 #8 December 4, 2005 so why did the fire truck spray it? was that just a preventative measure? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
airtwardo 7 #9 December 5, 2005 so why did the fire truck spray it? was that just a preventative measure? *** I was wondering that too... Sure didn't look like it was 'about to blow'... ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillyVance 35 #10 December 5, 2005 I know Mike Mullins has done it with his King Air at Coolidge, AZ, but he is THAT DAMN GOOD... However, that video IS impressive! Not even any sparks!
