Will he be flying a desk � or a wheel chair � or a coffin?

I don't know the Typhoon's landing speed or angle of attack � he may be crippled or even dead from a spinal compression. Gear-up landings of high-speed jet fighters can eliminate pilots as well as aircraft.


In that regard there is a bit of a silver lining. Apparently he walked away unscathed. Otherwise I would not have found any humor at all in the story.
