I've just seen on the news here an emergency landing by a twin engine prop (the film quality was dire, probably a mobile phone jobbie), perfect job by the pilot and nobody hurt. Anyone got anymore details?

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Just seen it one Sky News. Nice landing. Not sure what it is, but by the strakes on the tail and rear fuselarge I would go with Beach 1900

Great landing. Must be scary to do it though.

Kudos to the crew. And to the engineers at Raytheon/Beech.

Yeah its a Beech 1900. No other airplane is that ugly looking. From what I hear though its a decent airplane to fly as far as commercial turboprops are concerned. It appears that they still had the props turning as they touched down. Its hard to tell since I can't make the video go full screen. I'm not sure what the specific procedure is for that company or the airplane, but I would think I would want to feather the props just prior to a gear-up landing. Hats off to those guys though.

Its weird...its ugly, and pretty spartan on the insides, but i am drawn to it for some reason. Maybe its the kind of experience you get flying them. For 18k a year.
