Down & safe, bent props

Is it on the grass past the threshold?

Live on ABC Noon News

Landed on runway, skidded off at end of roll-out (skid-out), light rain, no fire, crowds on perimeter cheered & clapped.

Is it on the grass past the threshold?

From what I can see, yes...

... coulda been far worse!

A very impressive wheels-up landing - I'm not sure the props even touched the runway! Apparently the two pax jumped in their car and drove home!

Surprised they didn’t have the nets up, then again the props might have messed them up!
