What an appalling landing for someone with 120 hours! Not even an attempt to hold off to minimise touchdown speed, never mind a bit of refinement like landing on the left main and keeping the right wing high for as long as possible!

He just plonked it down level, the left main, right leg, and nosewheel all touching down together.

I know Cherokee pilots usually land like that, but didn't he know the right main wheel was missing?
