Poo would be coming out if I was the one photographer...

WHOA! Yup, Id have pooed for sure.

I'm always astonished, when I see stuff like this, that the tires and gear put up with it. I would think the leverage on the mounting points would be plenty to just break it off. Dash 8s in particular. Guess I'm wrong.

Why was he dragging it in that low?

He forgot he wasn't flying his Cirrus into a 9,000' runway.

I didnt find it that crazy at all. Sure they landed short but other then that I've seen higher bounces from 172's

pfff. you guys are criticizing the poor guy, he just beat the record on a short field landing in the c160! (at least as far as RWY goes.........)


I hate that every time I land like crap somebody is around to judge me. This guy takes the cake though!

I bet it was still noisy! I agree, it was pretty docile all things considered.
