Short Landing

[GregP]

I think this qualifies as a SHORT landing.

Not military, but shows what a liaison aircraft could do if properly flown. Think L-4.

I have been let off a Super Cub flying into a strong wind - where I stepped out with rifle and pack with just a little movement - one wheel on the ground on the high side of the mountain slope. Alaska - Kenai

He landed before the line, so its a DQ!

But that was a seriously short landing. Wonder what the wind was? 25 kts on the nose and that was a good landing, 5 kts and it was amazing!

Impressive!

It's where the main wheel touch, not the tailwheel.

Very cool. There is a video of him setting down on some rocks. Like what you would have spread on your driveway, number 57. They were kinda deep and when he set it down, it STUCK. Didn't roll at all.

YEah, O.K. after watching it a couple more times, I have to agree.

Since a few liked the short landing, here's a short takeoff competition in Valdez, Alaska.
