Aunt Mabel asked a hypothetical question and I gave my answer as a personal opinion based on principles of aerodynamics and why (and how) ALL aeroplanes fly (and glide).
If I killed myself doing it you could/would claim to be correct in your outrage that I should even suggest being able to achieve such a thing. But come on, lighten up, it was not a serious post and my reply was based on possible theory, not practice.
I still don't understand the outrage at Aunt mabels original post?

PS - As the post has become serious, I trust no one objects to me reminding you just how accurately airliners can be flown with just a tiny amount of flight training as was demonstrated on September 11th 4 years ago. I accept that landing was not on the agenda, but there was a degree of accuracy required to achieve their tragic result.
\'Land\' ????
I thought every landing was a good one if you walked away from the aircraft?
OK - you may get carried away from this one, but it would still \'land\'
