Instructor of that pilot is not very proud?

It is clear that he did not se his altitude, a truly classic killer for float planes.
"Under calm wind conditions, the waveless water surface is perhaps the most dangerous to the seaplane pilot and requires precise piloting techniques. Glassy water presents a uniform mirror-like appearance from above, and with no other visual references from which to judge height, it can be extremely deceptive."

On the third....slam, it sounded like something expensive broke. Then it dawned on me... It was his nuts hitting the floor...

What landing?

Was probably steering the wrong stick...

@duboisd31 Do you see her? It's not only the landing that's hard.

hahahahha ... :D

He was just checkin' out her floats, fellas, c'mon, you know you'd do the same thing.

It's obvious he was checking her out while trying to land, but why'd they cut out the part where she laughs at him and calls him a girlyman?

That was not just any Norseman; it was serial number 1, the prototype aircraft, registered CF-AYO. Crashed and burned in Algonquin Park in 1952. Subsequently salvaged. The rusty remnants are with the Canadian Bushplane Heritage Center in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada. Many year ago I did the donation appraisal on it.
Never mind...I just found it myself. Captains of the Clouds (1942) Thanks for the cool clip!

I sure wouldn't want to make a landing like that in front of a girl like that.

The plane was not done. It takes a lot more of a bang than that to disable a Norseman.
