  • love it how he still turns of the runway at the end.

  • Hes a Super pilot..

  • Beautiful! My congratulations to the pilot!

  • look like IL-96

    but i think it should be 707

  • Great pilot, no-one got hurt.

  • Great pilot

  • i thought they retired the 707

  • Holy Shit a 707!

  • Congratz...

  • awesome

  • he put the nose too fast

  • those must be some solid wheel well doors on that thing

  • I love the 707

  • What a great landing, it even looks like he trys to taxi the plane to the airport, now thats what i call dedication :)

  • can i go to boeing 707?

  • those little flaps are strong! i wonder if they design them to withstand the weight of the plane for instances like this

  • i flew the good old 707...,he probably lost utility system....mains lock down easily,...the problem is on the nose,....it has a peculiar procedure to follow, next i am going to upload it from the 707 QRH that i still have as a jewel

  • Impressed at how the landing bay doors held up so well. I would of thought they would collapse right away in these circumstances.

  • Balls of steel!!!

  • E X C E L E N T E .

  • wow my home town airport when was this?

  • Guys its a 707!!

  • Best part, no fire only smoke ; )

  • @rishiroypilot

    There was probably a layer of foam put down by the fire services. The pilot put the nose down with such precision that the nose appeared to be sliding on the nose wheel doors for a few seconds.

  • DC10?! ... figures...

  • @mustang19ms yeah DC-10 with a fourth engine!

  • The gear bay doors acted as wheels and guided the aircraft straight (well almost) on the runway.

  • You can see he pulled back fully to soften the impact.

    If my plane ever had an emergency I want him as my pilot.

  • absolutely beautiful. :)

  • thunmbs up for the pilot !

  • I would give a huge bonus to that pilot!!!

  • I notice that the main gear doors were also not closed, which they usually are after a proper gear deployment.

  • WELL DONE!!

  • Beautiful smokey 7 OH! good job too! Some stout gear doors! Thought he might have only needed them till they finally gave in

  • The old thing is still in bussines, spotted at Miami Int Airport :)

  • expertly done

  • Wow! What a landing and what an aircraft! Don't think I would have exited the runway though. Thanks for sharing!

  • dirty 707

  • Keen observers will also note that the leading edge flaps were not deployed for this landing. Interesting to ask whether this is due to the same hydraulic failure, or whether it was on purpose. Without leading edge devices, the 707 has more of a nose-down attitude on landing than it would otherwise. I am assuming it was due to the system failure.

  • hmmmm. thats an oldie. dunno why they would keep using the seven o

  • Boeing 707

  • Pilots amaze me !!

  • I expected to see fire! or flames

  • Fools! The landing gear doors are the only wheels he needs!

  • Notice how the stabilizer trim is fully deflected at the end!

  • seems he purposely landed it on softer grass/soil rather than on the tarmac to avoid the friction and the damage to the plane!!! flawlessly beautiful and extremely commendable!!! respect for the pilot!!!

  • Whoa! those landing gear doors are strong!

  • I may be wrong, but I didn't see any sparks. They must have foamed the runway prior to landing. Extremely good pilot in any case.

  • @rickd248 They would'nt do that cos the plane needs the grip to stop quickly.

  • @MrCriticOfAll I am not going to argue with you, because foam or no foam, the pilot did a fantastic job landing his aircraft. Good talking to you.

  • @rickd248 Kudos to the pilot-u r so right.

  • He uses the GEAR DOORS and even gets off the end of the runway XD what could be better?!

  • Chuck Norris must have been on that plane

  • was that ken block flying??? Holy cow!!

  • luv the 707.

  • what a skilled pilot

  • WOW! That is one of the best landings ever! That requires a highly skilled pilot!

  • Super job! Looks like he lands with no nose gear all the time!

  • that was a nice job!

  • Yeah, the nose never touched the ground! The doors that open for the landing gear acted as ski-like devices... which even kept the plane straight during landing. Watch it again.. incredible

  • @rhythm78 did u see that he landed on soft soil and grass and not the airstrip's tarmac/concrete??? that is so intelligent and wise!!! :)

  • The nose did not hit the ground.Great Job!

  • glad to know that the hydrolics will fail before the pilots. good job

  • Wow, great video! 

  • Great pilot. He did it in a perfect way for their safety, and didnt harm the jet also. (nose was in touch with the ground for 20 seconds only! )

  • Comment removed

  • awesome. i didn't know the 707s still fly today.

  • @neowarrior1 Today.its.Fly!!!--but.the.B707­-400!!

  • 707! Sweet and perfect E-lading!!! Super capt! Million dollar accident;)

  • Very very very nicely done, I find it quite amusing how they mange to kind of taxi of the runway lol.
