Nose Wheel Touch Down

[fjbutch]

..And they're out of service now...Damn sad...love the sound of those piston engines...

[goatboyful]

there are'nt too many planes in the world that could do that! RESPECT to the Caribou and the men who flew them!

[NikitasGuitars]

@goatboyful No kidding. This video would make any russian cargo pilot blush.

[QQROR84]

[Spaceace2001]

[gervasius01]

Looked like RC plane! Awsome piloting! Deep Respect.

[Hedgehoggy1983]

That happened to me quite often in Microsoft Flight Simulator - by mistake of course.

[airdelta9]

lol your face was under pressure @chriski95

[chriski95]

that is a fantastic plane. Im surprised the wings and tail didnt shear off. and the nose gear. looks like it was under some pressure

[3Dguy4444]

What a show off!

Hey thanks for this vid! Hmmm Caribous.... Gonna miss these ugly buggers. Apparently their short field performance is so good and they can be flown so close to stalling that our aviation mob (CASA) banned them from civilian use! Too easy to screw up a beta landing I guess. Full width flaps, a massive vertical and horizontal tail = lots of control at low low speeds. And nothing but a new-build version of them or the buffalo can match the performance! Chinooks are replacing them.

my first landing was left main first, back airborne, nose wheel, back airborne, both mains (boom!), then finally the nosewheel... i didnt even have half an hour of flight time yet and the instructor trimmed for 65 knts, put the flaps down, and didnt touch the controls until we got of the runway- then he explained what porpoising is......and how we almost died...

[NikitasGuitars]

@SecondsFromEternity *big grin* you lucky bugger

[romeox600]

this is very nice but dangerous and the plane is ugly

[mrbushpilot]

i've done that in a pa-28! :p lol

[swankydee]

Thats easy, all you have to do is put the nose wheel down first! Kidding of course, and full respect to the pilot.

[bendordoigne]

where was that?

That flying must have taken some pratice!

[hogey74]

Australia - we are the last to use these militarily but they get phased out soon.

[CommandoWAFFL3]

:O SKILLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!

[SargeistExisting]

HOLY FUCK! I hope he flies on "our" side!

[PistonDriven]

Now, there's the Coanda-effect for you....

[oisiaa]

A little bit of Newtonian lift.

[Kikesurf1]

nose manual!!!lol

[TheophilusPWildbeest]

Fantastic flying. Never seen that done before.

[CaptainBaxter]

[jvandervalk]

[ranges1pride]

[Tylerunderfire]
