There is a big difference between a "crash landing" and a controlled gear up landing. I would not consider that a "crash landing".Dash

Goodness, some of you people will find something wrong with anything. Who cares what the landing was called technically?
You missed the whole point of the story.

That was awesome!!
so cool that he even had a piece of the prop....that tells you what a big day it was for him, you don't keep something for that many years if it wasn't a big deal to you.... loved it

Techno freaks; drives you nuts don't it. Great video, imagine flying unarmed right into the middle of enemy territory day after day. Deserves a medal of honor in my book. Love the part where he says he flew it again after a prop and radiator change. Guess I would start smoking too.
