vctenderness,
Whilst in no way wishing to detract from these guys great landing, I would take issue with putting their achievment in the same league as Sully.
He was handed a glider, with no prepared site to land on, & pulled off a textbook deadstick arrival in a bloody river, in the middle of a city.
These guys performed an immaculate gear up landing on a runway, with adequate time to prepare, with full thrust/normal controllability available .
Great performance, but don't sully Sully's justified reputation by comparing the two.
Well done the LOT crew
but we are really talking apples vs oranges, even if Ptkay believes we have just witnessed the arrival of the new Messiah.
