    I can't tell for sure, but isn't that bird a Harrison's groundsmacker.

    Don't be too critical. When the noise stops and you're close to the ground it's an unexpected shock.
    First thought is where to put it down. There mayn't have been time to communicate, put * down, shut off fuel or do a nice flare.
    Gear is fixed on that Ryan.
    It went up on the nose.
    I wonder if he had a shoulder harness?

    Watched a Canadian Goose do that one day. We were set up next to a wheat stubble field that was covered with heavy frost. We figured later that it must have looked like water to the goose, because he came in like a water landing ready to glide gracefully along on his feet and settle into the water.

    He didn't glide at all. [:0][:D]

    * over tea kettle for 10 or 15 yards. We laughed so hard we hurt.

    While that was obviously shopped, those birds really do have "landing issues".

    Maybe a parachute would have helped. . .

    180 back to the field? Major no,no.
    Not many pilots get away with that.
    From the angle he hit the ground, he was nose down in the stall phase of a stall-spin to the left at a high rate of descent. Left wing, gear and nose took it as did his spine. He's truly lucky.
    I also lucked out in 1982 when my Bonanza crapped out on takeoff.
    In the ensuing panic I reduced power to about 50% and the plane held about 200ft altitude. Easing it around the pattern and over Stormville Prison, I was able to make a normal landing.
    Gear was up till touchdown.
    The airport owner said my engine quit three times.
    I only heard once.

    Great description. I can actually see that happening in my mind... ROTFLMAO! [:D]

    Did anyone survive that Cessna 170 collision with the parachutist in One Big Guy's post?
    A motorcycle shop owner advised when selling me my first motorcycle: "Sometimes it's better to hit something than to try to avoid it."
