I'll have to agree with some of the other comments.....that was incredibly controlled!

Not sure it can be done better than that. Nicely done, sir.

Well it was a very well done gear up landing. But a "Sulley"? Not even close. If he'd have had a dual flame out maybe, but a just a gear up landing, nope.

An outstanding job.

But stuck gear allows a great deal of time to plan the event. A dual engine flame out (on a twin engine airplane), provides NO time for thought. Not the same thing.

Still, to the pilot, fine job. Bravo Zulu.

Holy poo... That was stunningly well controlled.

My hat off to the pilot!
