[EdFred]

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

 

[bjohnson]

WOW!! He or She almost ate grass for lunch.

 

[SkyHog]

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".

 

[Ken Ibold]

Anybody check the prop blades after landing?

 

[Patch]

If he had a radar altimeter, it would've read zero.

 

[bbchien]

...sh_t!......

 

[JRitt]

I'm glad its not my job to clean out that cockpit or do his laundry..

 

[mikea]

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.)
