Better story than that guys.....there is a very fine man down in Dallas, Texas area now that is reputed to have made two running landings in a snow covered area near Jumbo's Pub in a BO-105.....with no skids at all! Cannot swear to something I did not see with my very own eyes....but it was reported by a very reputable source. Seems the trainee made a kinda ruff landing of it...was then given a demo by the instructor.....and during the analysis of the maneuver it was noticed there was lots of dirt and grass ploughed up in the touchdown area. Upon further inspection....someone noticed a set of skids protruding from a snow bank with some great similarity to those of the aircraft being flown.
