Looks like he thought he had more speed than he had, judging by the way he pulled the nose up before raising the gear! :oops:

Always wait for positive rate climb.

positive rate... gear up...

Good lord, and embarrising performance.

Perhaps mistaking kph for mph? :lol:

Sad performance indeed.

OH dear, someone's career on the skids...

Maybe he should join us in the lolwaffles....though we can take off fine. Landing is another problem.

rofl, I was gonna say that (After Oberon told me about the Lolwaffles)

A spy !

They needed Clint Eastwood who could 'think in russian'.... (what movie?)

What was it called? 'FireFox"?

Da

It is amazing that these aircraft structures can withstand a "no gear" landing like that without busting apart. Good job of the pilot for keeping the aircraft on the runway :yeah:

He wasn't landing though, taking off.

Landing in the sense that the aircraft touched the ground. :)

He may have intended to take off, but he ended up landing. :haha:

After all a landing is but a controlled crash. :O:

Any landing you can crawl away from is a good landing
