Discussion between the test pilot and the design engineer.
Pilot: Flying well and steady
Engineer : Ok, now flip the switch to the sweep the wings forward.
Pilot : Are ya sure?
Engineer: Well, it worked on paper.
Pilot: Ok, but just so ya know, I've got my other hand on the ejection lever.

Down isn't generally regarded as flying. It's usually called crashing!

If they are lucky it's called 'landing'...

Any landing you can walk away from….

It still classifies as a good landing. 1. It skittered to a stop before the road. 2. It missed the gas station. 3. It didn't knock down any hydro poles and 4. It appears the pilot walked away.

Apparently it happened in Buffalo, New York. Agree Dave very lucky if there is such a thing in a crash.

My Father in law was a pilot (air force and Air Canada) he once noted that if you start skidding or lose the undercarriage on landing the beast will just go wherever it wants. Whatever it hits or misses is simply luck.

Where are the wings? Those little things look like baggage chutes
