Surprised they got him infront of the camera... he hates being in any kind of spotlight..... thusly, I am 100% he will never actually see this...

Very cool!

What did he think of the A-380 landing?

Was he the one with the Beech 18? If so, he speaks very well.

Nice link. I enjoyed viewing it. Thanks!

Yes he was.... Don't know about the A380... I know my mom said there was an immense amount of people waiting to see it...

Witt, he looks too young to be yer dad. ;) LOL

LOL... I just noticed that it says under him that he is the "Lead Engineer Dayton Aviation Heritage"... and that his name was Walt Hoy.... Neither are true.... It's like he was really on the news!!! They always mess something up!

Oh, I asked because there was this big discussion on several aviation forums about the A380 "Hard Landing".

Looks like a perfectly acceptable cross-wind for a large airliner on a small runway to me....but this was the topic of the day.
