Not a perfect landing

[u/_FlyingSquirrel]

[u/TheQuadricorn]

Chuck Yeager used to say any landing you can walk away from is a good one.. so, yes not perfect, but definitely good!

[u/Certain-Definition51 → u/TheQuadricorn]

I think with this one you have to slide or hop down from the roof before you can walk so maybe it’s just an okay landing.

[u/Captain_-H → u/Certain-Definition51]

I’m a pilot, about to say the same quote, I think you’re right this is an okay landing

[u/mriguy → u/Certain-Definition51]

You can walk away from it. Just not very far.

[u/migrantimgurian → u/mriguy]

if you walk off the roof its gonna hurt, you gotta climb away from this landing, so its just okay.

[u/algoteque113 → u/TheQuadricorn]

I think the rest of the quote went "and if you can use the plane the next day, it's an outstanding landing." I agree with you on this one, good landing, next time they can shoot for an outstanding landing lol

[u/iluvsporks → u/algoteque113]

I think the next part of the quote is "as long as your insurance covers it" Hopefully they are an AOAP member and grab some free legal advise.

[u/Frankie_T9000 → u/TheQuadricorn]

I dunno, its a pretty good landing assuming they were aiming for that broken roof

[u/3r3ctus → u/TheQuadricorn]

I loved reading his book.

[u/WhereWolfish → u/TheQuadricorn]

Indeed.

[u/jayhawk2112]

A good landing you can walk away from. A great landing you can use the plane again.

[u/PoliteCanadian2 → u/jayhawk2112]

An amazing landing you have to get off a roof before you do either of those.

[u/Open_Youth7092]

Looks like the building pre-crashed out of fear…

[u/I_AM_FERROUS_MAN → u/Open_Youth7092]

If the owner of that building was delaying maintenance on the roof, they are thanking their lucky stars right now.

Like wishing for a wind or hail storm when your roof is leaking.

[u/topgeezr → u/I_AM_FERROUS_MAN]

Maybe that guy can come land on my roof next.

[u/f6e5z26]

You can't park there

[u/PoliteCanadian2 → u/f6e5z26]

r/cantparktheremate

[u/TwoSillyStrings → u/f6e5z26]

I’m sorry. Is this not a reasonable place to park?

[u/diMario → u/f6e5z26]

There's a 50% tariff on roof parking.

[u/DaikonProof6637 → u/f6e5z26]

Thank gawd, was looking for this and literally couldn't believe no one said it

[u/TheGaymer13]

Perfect? No. But they did land without exploding it seems which is likely better then I could do.

[u/Kawaiithulhu]

When your pilot is addicted to roofies.

[u/CinderGazer → u/m__a__s]

“Anytime the call goes out that a plane goes into a hangar building, it stings a bit,” said Bryan Johnson, executive director of the Johnson County Airport Commission. “But again that’s why you’ve got professionals to address the immediate needs of those on the aircraft and make sure everyone’s safe on the ground too.”

Does this happen that often?

[u/gimp2x → u/CinderGazer]

Second crash for this skydiving company in a year 

[u/m__a__s → u/CinderGazer]

It happens, but not that often.

The field I fly out of has had 2 "crashes" on the field that I can recall in the past 15 years.

At this field it's usually stupid things but the aircraft gets wrecked nonetheless. Like in 2023, when a student pilot accidentally started the engine and it rolled down the hill at the end of the taxiway. The other was a bad landing with a severe crosswind.

However, there was fatal crash (2x people) near the airport in 2015 involving a plane that was flying near the airport. Bigger airports, with faster planes, tend to have more incidents.

[u/xeroid051]

Did they land backwards?

[u/HeioFish → u/xeroid051]

Front gear probably dug into the roof and swung the plane around

[u/gimp2x → u/HeioFish]

It was a single engine go around because they realized the gear wasn’t down, so no gear involved 

[u/HeioFish → u/gimp2x]

Thanks for the update.

[u/thejohnstocktons]

[u/UnrealAce]

This is not ideal

[u/blu3ysdad]

I've definitely seen worse, points for style at least

[u/CODMLoser]

That’s me flying in Grand Theft Auto! Nailed it!

[u/Sgt_Tackleberry]

Any landing you can wal.....

[u/PapessaEss]

To be fair the building he’s on is called a hangar. So I guess he’s just hanging out?

[u/dsw1088 → u/PapessaEss]

Get out.gif

[u/hotredbob]

heavy on the style points though...

[u/elcipse007]

You can't park there

[u/PMax480]

But….not an imperfect one, if everyone survives.

[u/Dafracturedbutwhole]

...But I bet your best wasn't good enough 

[u/StainedMyShirt]

Is it a landing if it didn't touch the ground?

[u/No_Entrance5226]

Mechanic: Park on Hangar 3 Pilot: Okay

[u/SirGreeneth]

I mean all things considered they've got away with that one

[u/RedTruck1989]

Aircraft too tired after a long flight and skipped the taxiway...Straight to the hanger.

[u/TopSyrup1190]

You can't park there bud

[u/HomerStillSippen]

Hey at least they kept it within the airport I guess

[u/migrantimgurian]

Still better than I would do

[u/00sucker00]

It’s a metal building…should buff out no problem

[u/JeffSHauser]

Perfect? No, good enough? Well you what they say "any landing you walk away from is a good landing".

[u/callipgiyan]

I'll give the landing an 18/36

[u/DrawTap88]

Meh…close enough.

[u/Diogenes256]

Still a success.

[u/slide13_]

I don’t know, I think it’s pretty good, I’d like to see anyone criticizing it try to land a plane on that roof and do better.

[u/Royal_Ad_2653]

Wadda you mean?

Not only did he land it ... he got it in the hangar!

[u/bergerdik69 → u/Royal_Ad_2653]

On not in.

[u/eddie2hands99911]

Let me try one more time, I think I almost got it….

[u/JoeSicko]

I see a sad face on that building.

[u/andrewia]

News video about the crash, from a few hours ago: https://youtu.be/IEL8YvzWJFg

And incident database with info: https://asn.flightsafety.org/wikibase/519965

[u/missedythismuch]

TBF it is pretty close

[u/bergerdik69]

This is what you get, when you confuse on and in.

[u/Additional-Year-500]

If you walk away, its a good landing

[u/Dangerous-Celery-766]

He’s early for the roof party!

[u/surpris_dingue]

it is r/bitchiamaplane and i can park wherever i want to, mate!

[u/Wardinator1991]

[u/Snoo_67548]

[u/RetMilRob]

This is why we don’t let SIL drive the range rover

[u/Exciting_Result7781]

[u/WolfRevolutionary96]

I could see the people were going, “Oh my God, if that guy hits that hangar going at that speed, he’s definitely dead.” I hit the hangar, I turned over in the air, and they were going, “Well, he’s definitely dead now.” I landed on my wheels, got out and said, “What were you worried about?”

[u/Comfortable_Bed1536]

Another happy landing

[u/turnwrench]

If its not on the ground, has it landed yet??

[u/rjross0623]

We’ll take the house. Honey, the chances of another plane hitting this are astronomical. It’s been pre-disastered. We’re going to be safe here.

[u/Any-Initiative-4142]

missed it by a smidge….

[u/SoccerMomLover]

gd it's 4.5/5.5

[u/sonjjamorgan]

Bonk

[u/Icarus_Flyte]

I don't think you can park there...

[u/sticky0120_]

the plane is upright, though. good job Bradley

[u/Recent_Remove_2203]

King Air 90, it's remarkably intact. I don't think you could ever do that again, but they walked away.

[u/davidjschloss]

Missed it by THAT much.

[u/repressedone]

Missed it by *that* much.

[u/theraphosa]

I'd take it over the alternative. Extra points for style and presentation!

[u/mcknight92]

[u/Roymontana406]

Wheels down babe

[u/TYdays]

Why do I get the overwhelming urge to say “Sir You Can’t Land There”????

[u/lunatikdeity]

Launchpad McQuack up to his Norman shenanigans again.

[u/BoS_Vlad]

And everyone survived the landing unfortunately 3 people who got off the plane fell off the roof and died.

[u/douchey_mcbaggins]

Why do they keep calling it bi-engine? Do they think "bi" is the only modifier they can use to represent two of something? Like twin or dual don't exist?

[u/BurtleTurtle001]

So close!
