Pilot landed without landing gear
 

This is terrific skill, someone give the pilot a medal. Fuselage intact, wings intact, no fire, nobody hurt.

Saw this on a news page earlier. Bloody excellent bit of flying and yes, he deserves a big pat on the back. The landing looked smoother than half the ones I have ever been in.

Splendid work by the crew, at least 2 possibly 3 pilots on the flight deck, it's the sort of thing we do in the simulator but hope never to see in real life.

Excellent work. On a side note I'd love to see how much impact that had on the runway surface.

Very impressive.Reminds me of the one in the hudson river with no engines.

Top landing. I hope the passengers will be buying the fly boys a few beers for that one.

Deserves a medal for that - smoothest "landing" I've ever seen

Re: Pilot landed without landing gear
 

Wow.

If the runway had been a giant treadmill, he wouldn't have ever landed...

Um...

Umm indeed. Infinitely long, or perfectly frictionless..? :D

But regarding landing, absolutely amazing! Well done to them, I'm sure we've
all had a landing where we thought something was wrong... but not in the end.
