Title: Dead Stick Landing in Alaska (video)
Post by: TheSoccerMom on May 12, 2009, 06:13:31 PM

This is video (taken by a back seat passenger) of the landing that followed an engine failure near Talkeetna, Alaska. 

The pilot credits his training for the perfect approach and landing...

Pretty nice!!          ::bow::

Wow.  That was impressive. 

I was expecting more noise as the engine quit...
