Old clip of a King Air 100 having a bad day. I'm curious why he landed
without flaps, he was going pretty fast. Maybe to limit damage? The
phone commentator was a nitwit - the comment about feathering the
props to keep the engines from "spinning off the mounts" was the
dumbest thing I've heard in a long time. Do these "experts" babble
just to fill the silence?

Yes. The greatest possible sin in broadcasting is silence.

I thought the same thing, figgered maybe he was having all kinds of
associated failures or landing upwind? Have to go back and look.

As best I could tell, speaking of head's up piloting, he shut down the
engines in the flare, the props were stopped before they impacted the
runway.

That guy did better holding the center line than I do, with wheels
down!

The "nitwit" was Miles O'Brian who is at least a pilot, which is more than
you can say for most commentators who speak to aviation events with no
aviation background whatsoever.
