Crazy Landings

Here is a video that shows a couple of STOL Grasshoppers in a short landing/takeoff competition held in Alaska. I personally like the landing one. I’m wondering what the actually speed of the airplane was just before touchdown. The video makes me giggle in astonishment.

Continuing in Alaska, this one is shot from the cockpit showing a pilot landing on a gravel-bar in the middle of a river. I can do that. Swear. This Super Cub pilot takes a dip in the water just before landing on some river rocks. Definitely the mountain biking of flying.

And last but not least, this pilot demonstrates a landing on the world’s shortest runway. I want to land here for my PPL checkride. I’m sure the FAA examiner won’t mind.
