I think with the correct plane (light frame, big wing, big motor), I could maybe do that with a little practice and a lot of soft grass...
I was there with you until the plane ended up on its wing touching during landing.

I was wondering the same thing 'til he stuck the landing. A friend used to do a more radical appearing show in her J-3 Cub, but her landing was right down the centerline, first touching on one main, then picking it up and touching on the other main, then finally planting it. She is a darned good stick too.

I don't know if this is fake or real, but Kyle Franklin does some pretty crazy stuff in a Super Cub, including dragging wingtips.





"I've spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don't know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind it was a tall proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, wind-swept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace, a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity, and if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here." -- Ronald Reagan, Farewell Address, Jan. 11, 1989

Any landing you can walk away from, as they say...
