Bet that called for a new pair of Stanfields.

Spot On, Perfect!! This should be mandatory for every flight student of how maintaining a clear head, and not panicking can save their life!!
Awesome Job! Perfect landing!

Did that engine just break open midflight?

[@KHIOSpotter]

Yup. I might be able to go see the aircraft and get some shots of the engine this upcoming week.
