Nice landing
Not bike related, but a perfect demonstration of how to land a Harrier, with failed landing gear, on an aircraft carrier.

Re: Nice landing
A few years ago near here there was a chopper spraying bracken.
He lost his landing skid on one side so the ground crew built a few straw bales up to the right height and he landed perfectly on those.

Re: Nice landing
Good skills there! Makes you wonder why we ditched the Harrier and the Americans are still happily using them.

Re: Nice landing
Excellent landing
I like the way he said "we can't train for this". Clearly you can they have a purpose built stool for such events. Perfect to train with !!!

Re: Nice landing
I suspect in all other carrier jets the correct procedure is to fly abeam the ship at a few hundred feed, with the rescue chopper in the air and pull the handle between your legs. Good that he brought it home safely!
