Great skill on his part.

If he were a member here and his posts were as good as his flying, I would give him + rep.

Here's another nice one:

That's some serious talent displayed right there. 👍

A couple of months ago in Montreal, Quebec, a pilot had engine failure and had to land on a busy downtown street on a Sunday morning. The pilot timed his landing with the traffic lights to avoid crashing into lots of people.

That is a tough landing.

Holy crap, the gearless landing that Interceptor posted looked more smooth than most of the commercial flights I've been on.

Great piloting, especially the second video.

Not suprisingly

Commercial flight (mainly turbojet's) pilots are not supposed to hold out a landing for a smooth touch down, they trim to decend at a set vertical rate (between around 5-700ft min to follow the glide slope) then flare to touch down on the landing area at around a Vertical speed of 250-300ft min. Depending on weather conditions automatically or manually. So yeah that belly touch down would have been much smoother.
