'Damn good pilot' praised for DC-3 belly landing in Yellowknife - North - CBC News
Had a similar experience in 1994 in a Servivensa DC-3 in Venezuela. Right engine went bang right after takeoff at around 1,000'AGL. Lots of smoke but no visible flames, pilot make a (very) quick circuit and landed fine. Luckily plane had a light fuel load and under 10 pax.
Emergency landing briefing certainly had my full attention though.
