That was a damn good gear up landing.

It truly was close to the $1 million mark on repairs counting sensor repairs and total figures for man power, time out of service, etc. Although most planes would simply be retired or scraped out the 404's we use are mission specific and there's not many planes out there that can do what they do. Great work horses and unmatched endurance in terms of time that can be spent in the air. We routinely do 7 to 9 hour survey missions. Hope that helps!

Hi sir! Great video, great handling of the situation, glad you and your pilot were able to walk away safely. Kudos to you for still keep replying here to date in pandemic 2020 considering the video was posted so many years ago. You have a new sbc here. My question, if you don't mind disclosing: what kind of survey mission these a/c do for your company? Why do they have to fly for so many hours at a time? Just curious, hope you don't mind me asking. Greetings from Brazil, maybe you can do the same type of operation here, there are many (good and bad) similarities between our beloved countries.

I may not be a pilot but have plenty of experience in landing planes thanks to flight simulator on my phone , I think the problem was that it had no wheels.

Very good landing...everyone walked away. Excellent job. Bill

My dad flew the F4 phantom in the air force for 17 years. I remember him telling me one of the most nerve-wracking moments of his career was when he lost hydraulics at 15,000ft while heading back to base. He had to dead stick all the way home after all attempts to get pressure back failed. He said he had plenty of time to consider ejecting or going in for a belly flop but really didn't want to lose the aircraft. When he went for landing he did one pass of the runway then brought it back around for the attempt. Given the fire crews had plenty of notice they had runway completely prepped, absolutely covered in foam etc and were lined up all along the runway. He said upon contact with the runway he started sliding then the right wing dipped more and resulted in the aircraft sliding sideways and it felt like it was never going to end. Next thing he knows the aircraft is trounced in foam etc and the crews are knocking on the canopy asking him if he's ok. To him the worst part of the ordeal was his flight status was grounded while the investigation took place and that not flying felt like he lost a part of himself. In the end he was cleared of any fault and could return to flight duty

@@doesntmatter3068 Are you always so combative? 🤔 I looked it up, ok I got a term wrong. It's loss of propulsion. I always thought dead sticking was loss of pressure leading to alot of difficulty with the flight controls, the equivalent of something like losing power steering making it really hard to steer the car at low speeds (yes I know at a decent speed it's easier to turn the wheel, also know for aircraft the faster you're going, without that system it's harder to move control surfaces due to faster airflow pushing on those surfaces) No big deal, I used one term wrong, but never said he lost the engines, well technically I did by using that term, but the rest of my comment has no mention of that happening because he didn't lose the engines. Ive got no issue admitting when I said something incorrect. It's youtube, not the end of the world dude

I flew A-4s in the training command. Simulated loss of hydraulics was a demonstration. From what I recall the A-4 was barely controllable without hydraulics. I don't know how you could fly a phantom with complete loss of hydraulics. I'm not trying to pick a nit here just curious. Maybe he lost the system controlling gear and flaps which could happen in the A-4.

This may be wrong, but I found this video exciting and super co0ol to watch. The sounds of various parts impacting the ground and of the plane screaming across the runway was amazing. I*'m glad the two on board were safe and got out. I'd love to have a technical breakdown of the crash and descriptions of the sounds during the crash. I'm also curious if the plane was salvageable. Great job by the pilot and passenger (putting the fire out may have prevented the entire thing from going up).

At first, I thought they were hanging above a Boing about to be dropped like test dummies.

I was in the exact position as this passenger was on a test flight as a volunteer crew chief on a restoration 1947 Twin Beach D18S. Just as the passenger on this flight assess both sides of the fuselage and wings before landing. The pilots did a great job as well as the passenger and evacuated the aircraft. We didn't know we had a problem until one of the ground crew told us our Landing gear door was ripped during our landing and I had not a single tool to pull the piano wire to release the door. After that I never flew without a tool bag. It was due to misaligned doors during swing test a week prior.

Good drills, well handled. Both walked away, ship looks repairable too. Job well done!
