Yes. I've been wondering the exact same thing for the past 24 hours. He plonked it vertically onto the driveway at 3am in total darkness, and caused virtually no impact damage to the house or collateral damage to the neighbourhood? The left wing and rear fuselage geometry look completely normal, as if...... the aircraft was parked in the driveway and then set alight.....

I am not a conspiracist (16,000 hr heavy jet driver actually) but there is lot here that doesn't look right.

Then again, I'm reading stall speed (full flap) is around 81 kts so a "short-field" type of approach: maybe? Doable? I tell you what, his aim was precise.

Any Citation drivers want to comment?
