This RC P-47 has quite a troubled day. After a first difficult landing, the pilot manages to send it once again in the air. On the second flight the right wheel bails out
and the pilot is forced to belly land the plane. The P-47 is saved thanks to the pilot’s skills. The minimal damage belly landing ensures that this little RC plane will fly another day.
This video reminds me of a joke I heard some time ago. A young co-pilot performed an extremely rough landing… and such was the case that the company he was working at had a rule: the pilots of the aircraft had to stay near the door and wave their passengers goodbye. After his very hard landing, the young co-pilot did not have the guts to look his passengers in the eye. As each passenger passed in front of him the only relief he got was from hoping they will not pass any smart comments regarding his landing. Finally the last passenger was preparing to step out of the plane, an old lady… she approaches the co-pilot and asks him:”Son, did we land or were we shot down?”… that’s what first came into my mind when i saw this landing.
The massive low pressure storm system named Emma hit Europe with high winds and heavy rain. Gale force winds were recorded all over Central Europe. It is no surprise that this Lufthansa Airbus A320 was nearly blown off the runway by crosswind as it attempted to land at Hamburg on RWY 23. The pilot managed to avoid disaster in the last moment as the wing was touching the asphalt of the runway. The plane managed to land after a few minutes when the wind was calm. Passengers were pretty shook up after the incident and needed some therapy sessions at the airport.
