Enjoy a very nice, gear-up landing

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?

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.
