This is a true testament to the Fighter Pilot Attitude....

[Archdean]

"After catastrophic engine failure, I landed long. As I had no power, the landing gear failed to deploy and no braking was available.
I bounced over the stone wall at the end of the runway, struck the trailer of a truck while crossing the perimeter road, crashed through the guardrail, grazed a large pine tree, ran over a tractor parked in the adjacent field, and hit another tree. Then I lost control."

A fighter pilot will tell you that any landing you can walk away from is a good landing!

An ex brother in law who was a pilot told me that ANY landing that you walk away from was a good landing. He had only crashed once as of that time, front landing gear collapsed under him.

Lost control of what??? a body function perhaps?
