Gotta love his Angry Birds tee shirt! (at least during the interview)

I lol'd at his t-shirt. That's just funny.

Lucky guy. All that stuff coming at him and he seems just fine. Pretty amazing! And the landing looked pretty good too.

At least as good as my typical landings. More on the incident in the British press.

Tremendous job of "Fly the Plane" He didn't miss a beat, acted like that happens twice a day.

Happy that everything worked out well. Loved the T shirt.

I bought special eyeglasses to wear with headphones, but kept forgetting to put them on. For some reason at GA altitudes I do not feel like I need glasses. When I started flying an airplane with Lexan windshield, I started flying a helmet with a visor, just in case.

Video was just on CBS news! Glad the pilot is okay and will continue to fly. A couple of minor scrapes, a new wind screen, new pair of shorts, and a new wife, and he'll be flying soon!
