Airplane nerds: please critique this landing...

The pilot obviously took lessons from Chesley Sullenberger.

Actually no, here's Sullenberger's take on that landing:http://am.blogs.cnn.com/2011/11/02/captain-sully-sullenberger-weighs-in-on-dramatic-airplane-landing-in-poland/

I can't see from work but I'm assuming you're referring to the LOT wheels up? The guy did a good job, although its not TOOO much different from normal (angle need to be a little more forward) and they certainly practice this stuff in the sim.

So when's the last time you landed a 767 without landing gear?

I do it all the time ..... I slept at a Holiday Inn last night ..... Sorry ..... just could not resist .....

Hmm. That's a real article, but you made it go to the Rick Torrey thread instead.....I can't tell if you're trying to mess with us, or if you just weren't paying attention to your linking.

Lousy way to up the view count on the stupid Torre thread.

Try this again unless AZ found a way to divert the actual thread.
