Undershot, but got away with it.
Even then, it landed well before the marked Threshold. |

Misjudged it big time. At 543 metres there should have been enough for him to make a full stop landing would it not? Assuming he was empty |

The runway is by no means long at all, and the C-160 is a pretty large aircraft, hence why not touching down on the piano keys I guess, he was probably looking to touch down at the first or second arrows to be safe? Still misjudged it by a bit of a margin though, If I remember correctly, there was a Vanguard landing at a museum in the UK that did the same thing, (on a very short runway for its size as well) and when the pilots saw the tire tracks, they brushed it off with a laugh!

Other Youtube clips would indicate the C-160 has STOL capabillities to have made the landing with room to spare.

The pilot was late for an appointment with his optometrist.

Its a bit difficult to tell, but to me that road looks to be marginally higher than the end of the runway - perhaps why the Threshold is displaced further down. Just as well there was no fence and no vehicle was passing on the road too.
