Default MiG-29 pilot a little itchy on the landing gear handle! Puts gear up on ground!

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

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.

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

Landing in the sense that the aircraft touched the ground.

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

After all a landing is but a controlled crash.

Any landing you can crawl away from is a good landing
