And if you listen carefully around 0:47 you will notice that The Force is
with the pilot and his passengers ;-)

Don't know how the alternate gear control works on a 767 but not as
well as the simple mechanical up lock release on the DC's and MD's it
would seem. Never mind how well it was landed gear up - why weren't
the wheels down?

One of the responses:

Glider
Hmm, USAir into the Hudson - Sully is glider pilot, here - glider
pilot. Do I see a pattern (ok, n=2 is not a pattern, I know). Would it
be a good idea to have the guys start with glider training before
going to powered planes. Maybe 1 year or so (maybe 6 mo) longer
training but saved lives?

or perhaps having a glider pilot as your captain is bad luck! :)

there are two kinds of pilots

glider plilots
potential glider pilots

Wrong...

Those who have landed wheels up and those that will.

Then there are those that have taken off gear up!

Easy to do in a Blanik, if the previous pilot landed gear up...

Harder in a power plane; typically it will take full AB to get an F-15
to taxi gear up ;^)

BTDT (in the Blanik, not the F-15!)
