“Fuck the landing gear, fuck the prop, get on the ground!”
Damn fine job, pilot! (And I mean that in all seriousness. Landing gear and prop can be replaced).
Planes on the ground, pilots alive; perfect landing!
No joke! Looks like he was fighting a crosswind on the approach no less.
I saw this on the news yesterday. It was insane. The guy who stepped out was seemed so calm.
From the size and proximity of the projected shadow, how close do folks think that plane buzzed over that last building?
The left wing tip, it looked less than a wing span away in hight. Yikes!Yea, not very high for sure. Watching his shadow jump up and shrink made me cringe. His shadow was only slightly larger than the plane.

Thanks m8
Bonkers. Perfect video for this community. Thanks for sharing.
Imagine what those drivers were thinking, if they were looking up.
Amazing that such a small plane could fit the massive balls that the pilot has.
This is why I prefer small planes to huge jets. Smaller planes are more likely to become gliders if the engines break, larger ones are more likely to just become stones.
The glide ratio of a Cessna 172 is about 9:1, video is from a T210N Centurion II, a similarly sized but heavier plane, so its gliding capabilities are worse.
The glide ratio of an Airbus A320 is 17:1.
A huge Airbus is much better at gliding than a small Cessna.
You should prefer the bigger ones haha. The big planes have two engines and complete redundancy, two pilots who have more experience, turbine engines which are more reliable, better glide ratio so they can glide further, higher cruise levels so they can glide even further. I fly that plane in the video for work and I cross my fingers when we go over dense trees or water because those 1980’s planes are always giving us trouble!
Out of curiosity, what do you do for work that involves flying a light aircraft like this?
Drug mule I’m assuming
