Delta a non union airline. Spend 14 hours of liquor to suffer it. Arrived safe and sound. Had to keep a felllow passenger from touching my privates all night.
My father made two one wheel landings during a thirty year career of flying DC-3's and C-47's. (they were landings due to damage to the plane during hazardous flying when an attempt to shoot it down resulted in damage to one engine). He said, "this damn plane can get through nearly everything. It may come in on its last leg, but, by God, it WILL come in"!
The magic of Oshkosh. The person taking video was in front of the homebuilt HQ. Same place there is a nice park bench for sitting and not far away a big soft ice cream stand. Everyday at lunch I would buy a big soft ice cream and sit at the bench watching the planes landing. This day I was treated to not only ice cream but Dan Gryder doing low flyby's in his DC3.
Wow I’m surprised I didn’t see this video until now. Fun fact: The house your camera was pointed at along the south side of the air field at 2:10, I lived and grew up there for 25 years.
is not any properly done xwind landing a one wheeled landing. i routinely do one wheeled passes down the runway in my luscombe purely to show off and the fact is it is much easier to steer on one wheel than on two! anybody who is awed by a one wheel pass in a taildragger probably has little or no time flying one.
