Nubian, although I have done plenty of underslung load work from 8 to 80 ft strops but not production long line work.

Mk6 - I don't think anyone suggested he managed to land in a small hole - it seems quite clear that he made the hole - but a zero speed EOL (if it was a true EOL) is still not an easy technique,...
