Its good the pilots of this day still know how to properly fly an a/c of
this type these days, but a shame that they don't have anyof those little
bogies they had during WWII just for this purpose; They'd lift it up by
crane and place one or two under it, so they could move the a/c away for
repair.
I have a video that says an a/c landed this way even in WWII was well far
from being a total loss, but I also read in an earlier post that the damage
isn't too bad and is repairable. Of course it'll need to be done from
scratch because during the war the repair shop boys had many scrapped
airframes to scrounge parts from!
regards, Mark.
