Maybe as an impressionable child he saw Snake Plissken do it and
thought he'd give it a go ;) http://thenamesplissken.webs.com/Snake&GulfFire1.jpg

Although the Blanik pilot didn't beat a gang of thugs and rescue the
president of the US after *his rooftop landing, I'm still impressed by
his feat.

It just wanted to be with the rest of it's family for a bit who are happily
living as 'the roof'

I don't know how damaged it was in the landing, but it looks as if
they did a lot more in the removal, scraping the fuse and wings along
on the edge of the roof!
