Great job! I hope someone managed to capture this on video as it would be an exellent training aid. Touching wingtip and ground looping à la B757 off Kenya was NOT way to go. Obviously his technique, configuration and attitude at touchdown were flawless to keep that airplane in one piece.

With his CV he should be re-writing the SOP's for ditching.
it didn't help that the hijacker was pistol whipping the skull of the pilot at the time of ditching.
