Just a wild show that thankfully ended well for everyone:

A 1981 Cape Air Cessna 402C aircraft (N18VV) landed safely at Logan International Airport in Boston with just Left Main Landing gear extended on Tuesday afternoon.

The aircraft that had two passengers and one crew member had taken off from Logan and then returned back owing to landing gear issues.

Cape Air released a statement saying that the pilot of Cape Air flight 1833 “performed the appropriate checklist and landed the aircraft back at Boston Logan Airport.”

You gotta love that — the pilot “performed the appropriate checklist” while missing a wheel. That’s keeping cool under pressure!

One pilot explained to local news just how tricky this maneuver really is:

‘They certainly knew what they were dealing with and what was going to happen,’ commercial pilot Patrick Smith said. ‘The technique here on to touchdown would be to keep the plane up on the existing landing gear as long as possible. That’s not easy to do and at a certain point, once you run out of speed, the plane is going to drop onto the other side.’

That’s the kind of captain you want on whatever plane you’re riding in.
