Pure class. Looks even more controlled than a normal landing!

Leg end

great control, the T tail-rear engine config of the old 727 probably helped him out no end, taking nothing away from his skill though

Looked smoother than some of the landings I've had with all wheels present!

I think he needed a rear ARB!!!!

I think they need a new non 40 year old design and a proper maintenance program....

Dont fly IranAir or Cubana for that matter please peeps

Haha, I've flown with Cubana, both transatlantic and internal. What an experience that was!

I've flown internal in China and Pakistan. They were interesting experiences.

I think he probably needed a new set of pants!

I was sat next to a polystyrene box on a Cuban internal flight. It has some text on which I jotted down and later translated to "organs for human transplant"

The locals in China used to be amazed when you turned up at your seat, found all their luggage on it and then went ballistic at them. This was normally solved by throwing it into the aisle much to their dismay.
