That's not a crash, that's a controlled landing

  "high friction landing" :)

    "lithobraking"

  As neutrally as possible, a gear up landing is suboptimal.

    Isn't that "normally" done on a foam carpet prepared by the fire trucks?
    • ranger207 9mo ago
      No, the FAA recommends against creating a foam path. It reduces braking effectiveness and uses up supplies that might be needed to actually fight a fire https://www.faa.gov/sites/faa.gov/files/airports/airport_safety/certalerts/cert0204.rtf https://www.faa.gov/sites/faa.gov/files/airports/airport_saf...

  That's the smoothest landing I've ever seen including normal ones on landing gear.

      That was beautiful. Pilot managed to drag the tail and slow down enough that it looks like the engines barely took a hit at all.

  Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing. If you can fly the aircraft again, it's a great landing.
