He actually got an announcer to stop talking. No small feat in itself.

Maybe it wasn't luck....maybe the pilots just that damn good....
Heh, no way, that was pure luck.
Good think it was a retract.

Dang, I just about had to clean out my drawers just from watching. 
I can't imagine getting any closer and not making contact.

I kinda half expected the announcer in a high pitched voice..."OH SHEEEET".

I'm glad its not my job to clean out that cockpit or do his laundry..
Notice how he did the victory roll to celebrate still being alive.
I think it would have been more prudent to gingerly land the plane and check for damage.

1/2HP less and it mighta been all different! (I assume in this maneuver, one is pouring the coals to it.)
