A Sukhoi Su-27 of the Russian Knights aerobatic team landed on the runway at
Bratislava, Czechoslovkia, during an airshow, with his wheels up.

The pilot simply forgot to lower the u/c !!!

The a/c touched down on the two empty missile pylons fitted under the engine
trunks in a shower of sparks.

The red-faced pilot climbed out unhurt (except for his pride).



And Mary wouldn't call that 'pilot error', unlike everyone else
in the world of course.
