You hope these guys are the ground crew, that's what! Huge tip o' the hat to the pilot and flight crew. (He might make a Coastie pilot someday if he keeps practicing!) That was some precise flying and they didn't do any further damage the aircraft. This on the spot ingenuity wound up becoming a training film.
