    Any landing is a Good Landing if you can walk away.
    The guy that said 2 outa 3 ain't bad ain't been in an early Cessna 310 with no green lite on the nosegear.
    Um, tell us more about your unpleasant memory, Mardonzi. Inquiring minds want to know.
    We're all friends here. You can share....

    It's just a micro switch.
    The bulb is blown.

    I'm surprised that they couldn't just use the "blow down" with the emergency bottle , but to see them try to "bounce" the gear down was neat, have only seen that one other time and that was a G-3 at VNY gear came down but didn't lock and still made it but barely, they pinned the gear and then towed it to the MX hanger we had.
    Neat vid.

    Had a Piper Arrow that had just come out of Annual. The brake line needed to be replaced, but the A&P didn't have the right one so he "McGuyvered" one to fit. Needless to say, it was a bit too long, and hung up the trunion. The end result was 2 in the green,,,, No bodily damage,,, just some scraped up belly strakes, a damaged flap, bent prop, and a tear down,,,, What a way to finish a Commercial check ride practice
