impressive 2 wheeled plane landing
2007-03-13, 5:01 AM #1
clicky

A plane flight in Japan had to be held up in the air for two hours because the front landing gear wouldn't engage properly and in the end the plane had to land with no front landing gear.

Impressive control from the pilot on the landing and the plane held up very well from all appearances.

It must have been quite a pilot as well, and not just luck like the BBC newsreader said, just like you said Agent Bond.

It looks like it won't even take much to get the plane back in service.

I just read about this on my french news sites. Quite impressive, and as said by some of you, I also believe this was not just sheer luck. There had to be talent and control from the pilot.

Pretty cool.... but could it land on a conveyor belt?!

Those pilots deserve a big bonus.

I say we give them a free plane ticket.

I like how it goes along the runway for a long time with the two wheels touching but the nose in the air. That's cool.

That's how planes always land.

Not as amazing as you might think, but still amazing.

The thing that was great about that was his throttle control really.
