Please use this thread to share your sky king memories. I was still sometimes on 4chan when this happened. I remember basically every board having sky king tribute threads for days. Rest In Power, chad.

I wonder if he could've landed it. I think a Cessna Caravan is the biggest plane so far that got landed by a passenger with 0 experience, but stuff like the Q400 is a completely different beast, much faster on approach and landing with much much less room for errors.
