Pilot executes amazing one wheel landing
The pilot of a fire fighting aircraft in the US has pulled off an incredible one-wheel touch down after the landing gear on the left side of his plane failed to deploy. The unconventional landing occurred at the Sonoma Air Attack Base in California. (youtu.be) Altro...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
This occurred in 2012 and the aircraft landed at the Minden NV air base. http://wildfiretoday.com/2012/06/03/two-air-tanker-incidents-one-crash-and-one-wheels-up-landing/
Quite a headline as I guess ever who posted this didn't count the nose wheel and its a normal landing if one wheel doesn't come down. Was very well done by an experanced crew.
