Landing without touching the ground is a special art.

I seem to recall one of the earliest scenes of Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines is a spectacularly grim flight into the tree line in failure that the German officers overseeing then solemnly remove their helmets for.

Anyway, I found the three other pics looking for a clip of that scene.

Whoops

There are a surprising number of pictures of MD-11s and 747s tipped over on the internet.

Any landing you can walk away from...

That biplane came to grief after trying to attack a Zeppelin somewhere over France. I had a friend who was a pilot for Gemini Air Cargo before he moved to US Air. I wonder if that was his plane. I don’t think Gemini exists any more. I saw a couple of their old DC-10-30Fs parked in a boneyard in Roswell, NM a few years ago.

He hasn’t exactly landed yet. Does this count as CFIT?

Might have to add a column in his log book. Not sure what the hell you'd call it though...

There’s a reason I never fly without my rappelling gear
