Impressed at the R4D pilot on the radio who obviously aware of the proximity to other airports and thus low level aircraft finds the time not once to twice but declare their intentions so everyone knows what they are going to do. And it can't have been a nice view out in terms or will we wont we make it as they clip that snow bank just before landing

Salutary to reflect on what losing an engine meant back in piston prop days , and how tough the R4D is back on its wheels pretty soon afterwards (of course they do protrude below the wing when 'retracted' but none the less its impressive

And someone caught it all on video and they walked away !!.
