Rice_Master · 11-17-2005, 10:09 AM

man that's an incredible landing.

poisson · 11-17-2005, 10:10 AM

wow, that look pretty easy :D

Marcus Aurelius · 11-17-2005, 10:10 AM

Wheres that "Jet Blue" pilot when you need him.

SlickCash Brock · 11-17-2005, 10:10 AM

That was a pretty smooth landing for no landing gear!

Alky · 11-17-2005, 10:10 AM

holy shit that was amazing

mardigras · 11-17-2005, 10:12 AM

They said the type of plane it is would be piloted by someone with much experience and numerous certificates. Nice to see them all casually walking away from it.

Sarah_Jayne · 11-17-2005, 10:13 AM

flying tomorrow..not letting myself look

pornguy · 11-17-2005, 10:13 AM

It kind of looked like a 421 turbo prop. Nice plane. and man that is gonna cost em.

Tom_PM · 11-17-2005, 10:15 AM

Now he gets to fill out reports all day. Nice job for the pilot. Hope his passengers pay him back with a few drinks or dinner.

It landed so smoothly that if they had shown it from from a different angle most probably wouldn't have even realized the landing gear wasn't down.

Penrod · 11-17-2005, 10:21 AM

That was pretty to watch

Peaches · 11-17-2005, 10:23 AM

They are saying locally that type of plane can land easily with no landing gear. They are coating it with foam now - probably doing more damage than the landing itself ;)

The best was when a local station was filming the wrong plane and thought it had gotten down with all landing gear in place, lol!

ronaldo · 11-17-2005, 10:25 AM

Still nothing on cnn.com.

It'll show up as breaking news within the next hour though I'm sure.

Glad to hear everything turned out alright.

LoriAnderson · 11-17-2005, 10:30 AM

Sebastian Sands · 11-17-2005, 11:05 AM

Nothing about it on CNN now

rowan · 11-17-2005, 12:27 PM

That landing was so good it was almost boring.

Jim Neil · 11-17-2005, 12:48 PM

I was thinking it was a Air Bus or something.

On a side note.. I've seen F15's land like that with no landing gear... It's always interesting ;)

latinasojourn · 11-17-2005, 01:45 PM

actually gear up landing incidents are pretty common in small retractables.

and if they are done on pavement there are usually no injuries, and only modest damage to the airframe, and no damage to engine(s) if the pilot is smart enough to shut down the engines and tweak the starter button to get the props horizontal.

usually this is caused by failure of the gear warning horn and the pilot forgetting to put the wheels down, but sometimes there is a hydraulic pump failure (cessnas) or broken gear motor (beechcraft) that fails, and a manual let down does not work.

probably 10-15% of older retractable general aviation aircraft have had a gear up landings---injuries are very rare due to low stall speeds in a controlled forced landing...the greater the landing speed the higher the risk of injury.

Dalai lama · 11-17-2005, 01:52 PM

safe landing, good pilot

GlydeGirl · 11-17-2005, 01:54 PM

Phew! Glad everyone made it through unscathed! Yay to the pilots!
