Dead Stick Takeoff AND Landing
This pilot shows off his gliding skills (and big cojones) by pushing his powered aircraft off a 1,500 foot high cliff without starting the engine then sailing 2 miles down to a sand bar in a canyon somewhere. You can clearly see one propeller blade stationary during the flight before he starts the engine up after landing. Any guess where this might have taken place?

What aircraft was used in the "dead stick take-off and landing"? -ae
looks like a Cessna
FAA’s “Chief Operating Officer” Henry P. (Hank) Krakowski is a failed corporate sycophant, an ex-commercial pilot - and [thank God for us now] a retired midwestern weekend-warrior aero-stuntmonger with the Illinois-based Lima Lima flight team.
Hank Krakowski's shameless selfish and myopic quest for personal corporate advantage, even if over the human safety of others, got Hank's fellow pilot Keith J. Evans killed. Evans died in a 1999 aerial stunt practice for a Lima Lima airshow, in a mid-air plane crash. Hank produced the show. Hank's deposition transcripts are linked below.
After the crash, Hank Krakowski was then almost immediately thereafter promoted and kicked upstairs to UAL management. Then Hank was kicked sideways through the aero-revolving door right into the Failed Aviation Administration:

And now, in Fall 2009, Hank Krakowski is once again purporting to publicly opine on AIR SAFETY issues why, exactly?:

And FAA Administrator Randy Babbitt and USDOT Secretary Ray LaHood continue to employ Hank Krakowski as FAA COO, why, exactly?:
