Touch wood, I've never had to make a forced landing. An emergency landing back onto the field sure but not a full engine failure. I would hope to stay that calm and make a textbook landing like that.

Good move on his part not to continue over the hills. Wouldn't have ended well if he'd continued in that direction.

Loved the product placement early on in the video. :aok

That's okay, I've had 5, 3 of which were complete power failures in single engine aircraft, so just consider that between us we have it covered.  :D

Here's another video that was on that same page:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhyEnqudx8M

That would get the pulse up a bit.
