Hell, that wasn't a landing. That was a crash.

And, it looked a lot like some of you guys landing in game.

i guess codguy can corredt me, but i think what happend is when she (the co-pilot who flew) turn the nose towards the runway, the right wing moves faster then the left wing, so it got more lift...

Yeah, figures they'd film ben when he was landing. Hey, he had his canopy closed and he didn't even get near any trees.....hey wait a minute, there weren't any trees around the runway....go figure.

Nice recovery though. After the aborted landing, I would have asked for a Guinness, and a clean pair of shorts.

Ben's landings are that good?
