  • Pretty lucky catch! Actually looked like a decent landing, all things considered! I used to live in Conneaut, OH, and been to this show. Not to argue, but I always thought that the show in Osh Kosh, WI was the biggest... good footage though!

  • @PGutbrod ... Second biggest airshow in the US? I think you mean Ohio.

  • Who and why will think that if the pilot is landing with one gear is faking. Who will damage thousands of dollars for a show? At 0:17

  • @pGutbrod, uh, I'm sorry, but I am afraid you have your facts terribly confused. Cleveland is the second biggest show only second to Dayton? Uh, Have you ever heard of or been to Sun n' Fun or Oshkosh? My guess is NO!!.....because if you had, you wouldn't make such stupid comments. BTW......Are you a pilot, based on your commentary......I would have to say.....definitely NOT!

  • I like the seagulls sitting quietly on top of the lamp pole. Looks like they're thinking, "Man, why doesn't that huge bird learn how to land properly. :o)

  • the guy filming this makes it seem like he has captured the first man on the moon footage. Filmed at some crappy small town air show my girlfriend would have dragged me to. I can taste the cheep white wine and pepperjack cheese cubes to go along with the crappy white man jazz in the background. 

  • Guess what b1cc2. I am an A&P working out of Hopkins and guess what? My aircraft have a hand pump in a door on floor beside the co-pilot. Guess your incorrect.

  • he didnt die because it didnt catch on fire so that is good

  • that dude just messed up his plane - lmfao

  • good landing, very steady and controlled

  • I was on the deck of the GoodTime III in the harbor. It was just about to pull away from the dock for the happy hour cruise.

  • @PGutbrod sense you where there did you hear about the crash in dayton the guy went up and then he was going down and pulled up at the wrong time and smoke and fire happens and he got killed?

  • Where were you?

  • I wish to hell we could have one, single video with no responses of someone calling someone else a fucking idiot! What difference does it make whether someone agrees with you or not? Is the world gonna end cause someone makes a cute remark. Let's all try to act a little more responsible, eh?

  • You can tell by the way the pilot eased his aircraft down in the correct attitude for this type of landing gear malfunction that he was well aware of this problem. Also he has indicators in the cockpit that also give the configuration of his landing gear as well. What is questionable however is the relatively slow response of the crash crews. Seems too long for me.

  • Crap this happened just after I left for the Indians game, fml. Not that this is a good thing or anything haha.

  • whatever you can walk away from, is a good landing.

  • Inside all modern-day aircraft, each landing gear has a red/green light to show that the gear is down and locked. Chances are he knew the gear wasn't down in the rear and had no way to manually drop it down. Only choice was to belly it and hope it didn't catch fire. Nice landing though.

  • Good vid mate, credit to pilot just think some people cant even park at Tesco!!

  • I cannot beilieve that happended either.

  • excellent landing!

  • i was there i bet he did not no he did not have the landing gear but it was pretty exciting .

  • Thanks

  • I agree that the pilot did an excellent job putting it down (esp minus the mains w/ only the nose wheel down) It could have been a disaster. I am guessing that this particular A/P did not have hydraulic gear, thus not having the ability to "hand-pump" the gear down manually. Typically aircraft that have hydraulic landing gear have a bypass hand pump if the hydraulic pump fails. Kudos on the video and congrats to the great aviating!

  • @rosswilldoit you're wrong. Aircraft with hydraulic landing gear don't typically have hand pumps. Find me the hand pump on today's jet aircraft.

  • "I'm wrong?"... I said typically and thats because I have seen MANY on smaller prop aA/Ps, Turbo props ("Cessna 310 "Ring a bell?")... Look at our military's aircraft. Ive seen several Cessna Citation II private commercial jets with emergency hydraulic (Hand pump-down) mods in them. Maybe you should research more before you say someones wrong... Cheers

  • @rosswilldoit Maybe you're a fucking idiot. I don't need to research more, I'm a commercial pilot and a A&P.

  • He new his landing gear would not come down. He did 2 passes and had the Canadian Hornet have a look at his gear. Pilots know when the gear is not down and locked...he landed it really well.

  • hello im the son of the assisstan cheif of hopkins international airport he commented on this movie on metcafe asking you to give him the video for training if u could do that it would be great and i was in the ford with my dad on that call i will try to get it up on youtube soon

  • Iskierka a Iskra to 2 różne samoloty, oba z PZL-u. :bleh:

  • this is going on YOUTUBE tonight!

  • is that suppose to happen, lol.............of course, budget cuts save on tires.........

  • He knew the landing gear was screwed up. The fire trucks were on standby because of a mayday call. If you land on an empty tank, you risk explosion.

  • jawn

  • stfu Nazi

  • A wonderful aircraft. It is of Polish construction, so no wonder that nobody was hurt. The aircraft can land safely even without the alighting gear, unlike American junks.

  • PZL TS-11 Iskra, maiden flight 1964, last plane build 1987. It is quite old construction.

  • good job !

  • The PZL TS-11 Iskra (Polish for Spark) is a Polish jet trainer aircraft, used by the air forces of Poland and India. It is notable as the main trainer plane of the Polish Army, the oldest jet plane still in service in Poland - and one of the most reliable.

  • This happened around 6pm Friday September 4th, 2009

  • Talking about being at the right place at the right time!! Great Shot!!

  • Approximately what time did this happen? I was there for a bit taking pictures.
