Is this a wing strike?

[abrutus]

Or did he get straight after landing hard on the main landing gear? I really cant tell...


What a landing though...

I didnt see the wing hit. But it defiantly calls for a hard landing inspection.

This one is an oldie. It's also a testament to Piper build quality, as a C172 nosegear would have folded on impact.

So you're saying my soft field landings need some work?

they only build them well because they know they land bad

I preferred landing a Piper to landing a Cessna. Especially the Arrow. Once I got that airplane dialed in, it was stupid easy to consistently put it down both right on a point and softly, at the same time.

I hated the arrow maybe thats the 1500hr difference between the two. While each could take a beating it always seemed that the sprung steel on the 172 did better then the olio struts on the pa28

Looks like he landed well off the runway. Then got back on the centerline. After overcorrecting of course.
