Ken sticks a downwind / fosbury flop of a landing.

Language not safe for work.

At some point I tossed out eyes on the target & and into the wind and settled for WINGS LEVEL.

I should have considered my pre-approach more carefully yet rushed it when I discovered unexpected traffic. (Doh, should have spent more time looking around while staging, thought I was the last one up)

Masterful save, it's that simple! You might lose all kind of points on the appx., but the save was sexy on steroids!

Just glad this did not end up one page down in "Safety and Incidents in flight"

Maybe we need a new category: Great Saves!
Can be any kind of great save whether a low save or dragged wing on launch w/ safe flyaway or your down-winder and Jesse Owens sprint.
Great job!

I saw it with my own eyes and still can't believe it. This is not an easy thing to do on a high performance wing. I would never want to try and duplicate that landing.
