Title: This exactly how I land my spit in AH
Post by: PanosGR on July 19, 2015, 04:26:35 PM
See how a pilot skillfully carried out an emergency landing of his Spitfire - without any wheels. Just like AH in other words.

well done. Main thing is that he made it out alive and smooth. I wonder what happen to his gears tho.

Happened on a dropzone near me, some skydivers filming with a phone nearly got hit by a chunk or the shattered prop and laughed about it. We're all idiots.

They fell off when he deployed them 1 mph over their speed limit.
