Another cool aircraft landing vid

[CookMySock]

Any landing you can walk away from, especially if the aeroplane can be re-used, is a GOOD one!

Especially if you DO NOT want to be in the plane any more. Bad weather, nowhere to go, frightened and overloaded pilot? Bash the fucker on the ground and walk away from it - alive!

lol, I was convinced it was a radio controlled plane till the guy got out of it.

Remember the BAe 146 Whisper Jets we used to have? This is a variant.

I used to fly in those BAe146's from City Airport (that where this is) to Dublin with Air Fungus...must be something to do with the conditions landing there because I had one particularly heavy landing which caused the oxygen masks to drop...

then i clearly remember an aerobatic prize titled to a pilot that was almost losing his wing, so he flown all the way upside down not to expose the damaged wing to positive gs, and at the very last he turned and landed safely, leaving a scratch into the ground with the wing tip long some hundred of meters.
unfortunately i don't remember the name of the pilot or the name of the prize: i just remember that the cup was representing a plan touching the ground with the wing and that probably the plane was a zlin, or maybe an extra.
if somebody finds something on the net about that please post here...

Neil Williams in the UK flying a Zlin - the main spar snapped at the attachment point and he flew upside down to just before he "landed", then flicked the plane over and slammed it onto the ground. He was killed a few years later in a Casa 111 crash, I think. Report here http://www.aerobatics.org.uk/repeats...ng_failure.htm
There was a photo of the plane in his book "Aerobatics".
There is an Aerobatics trophy named after him - "The Neil Williams Trophy" presented to the British Unlimited aerobatics champion in his memory.

I believe he heard it crack and go soft. Pretty fucking brave, but what other choice was there!
